True,the Emersons don't follow accepted performance practice(I'm not a string player so take that with a grain of salt.).
The first six,the opus 18 set was from Beethoven's first period when he was absorbing influences from CPE Bach,Hadyn,and Mozart.
Starting with the three opus 59 quartets,LB found his own style.
The last five broke new ground. The more I listen to the ESQ's recordings of the last five,the more I like them. I agree with the previous posters who called them energetic.
