T4S new release out with youngest soloist Christian Li, 13 years old. Just listened to it and it is rather good, a bit full blow as full orchestra but gives it force, well worth a listen IMO.

Interesting take on early C20 Viennese school as they are period performers using gut strings and less vibrato. Much more to my taste and makes the works more listenable IMO.
Listen to the release Vienne 1905-1910 - Schoenberg, Webern & Berg: String Quartets by Richter Ensemble on Qobuz
