Quintette à cordes D956, Quatuors à cordes n°14 "La Jeune fille et la Mort", et n°12 "Quartettsatz"
- The Lindsays, avec Douglas Cummings, violoncelle (Quintette) 

Who cares if some English hack with a nationalist streak says the Lindsays' are the new messiahs or if American hacks of a similar vain say something quite the opposite - I for one have more discernment than to look to the opinions of others to ensure the 'validity' of my purchase. I find it far more pleasurable to make the discovery - pleasant or otherwise - myself.
As for the current recording, whilst I still prefer the Berg for the quintet, I found the performance wonderful with the Lindsay's 'raw style' never getting in the way of the music. As for the Adagio I only wish it could go on forever... of course that's just me.
