Small Classical Ensemble with Double Bass?

Hate to take everyone away from their Beatles...

I was listening to a string trio today, thinking "this would be better if there was some bottom". Anyone know of any small classical sting ensembles with double-bass? A quartet, maybe even something with piano? Anything interesting?

Thanks.

Here are some, but a few you may have to work to find:

Dvorak, "String Quintet in G, op77" - Dvorak Qt, Frantisek -db, Supraphon 50 186 (LP)

Rossini, "Sonate a Quatro" for 2 violins, cello and double bass - Salvatore Accardo -vn, S.Gazeau -vn, A.Meunier -vc, F.Petracchi -db - Philips 4769648 (2LPs) (a superb performance and recording)

Schubert, "String Quintet in A, op114 (Trout Quintet)" (lots of choices for this work)

"Dragonetti Lives!" - music by Domenico Dragonetti (1763-1846) for double bass, cello and piano - with Bertram Turetzky playing bass on Takoma C 1042 (LP)
