All the Bartok quartets are good but Three, Four and Five are incredible. Nothing rocks harder than those amazing dive-bomb glissandi in Bartok's Third String Quartet. :)
The first Bartók I owned on vinyl was the Juilliard Quartet recording of the 3rd and 4th quartets and the Music for Strings Percussion and Celesta. Really great music!
Ah this was one of the first classical pieces I got into. An ideal piece for a former extreme metal fan.
