There are at least 3 sets of string quartets by Saint-Georges - this one, another, and op.14.
This set was recorded in 1978 by the Quatuor à cordes Jean-Noël Molard (a recording reissued, I think, on CD in 1998 on Arion. Durations above based on this recording). A set from 1777 (the second or third set of his string quartets, or even a later one?- probably the second) is available on CD played by the Coleridge Quartet.
