Toch: String Quartet No. 8; String Quartet No. 9

Between the echoes of Strauss and pre-atonal Schoenberg a fresh, appealing voice emerges in these early 20th-century quartets. The Verdi Quartet’s performances are strong and well shaped, and let down only by the slightly swimmy background acoustic. Stephen Johnson
