Italian Serenade in G major WW...

Though there's no shortage of great works in Bartók's oeuvre, his string quartets are surely among the finest music composed in the 20th century. Emotionally and intellectually exhausting, hypnotic, crisp, wondergully bold and yet uncompromisingly no-nonsense.
If these works don't send shivers down your spine, please do check your pulse.
