Need suggestion before making classical music purchase

[newbsterv2]

Hi all. I've narrowed it donw to two box sets of Shostakovichs' String quartets. The choices are.......

1-13 on the Chandos label. This is the original performance by the Borodin Quartet minus the last 2 quartets being 14 and 15

1-15 on Decca label. Performed by the Fitzwilliam Quartet. The set costs 4 bucks more but has the last 2 quartets.

I want the performance with the most feeling and wide range of emotion. Any ideas?

Yep, I believe you're right.
