Wellesz quartets on cpo Posted by Eric Schissel on October 10, 2025, 5:05 am Good review- is it just me though or does the download / mp3 of the last track end 105 bars into the 255 bar finale, a moment before the fugue would start, almost as though a track were missing? Seems off.

On my ‘old fashioned’ CD version it is 13:42. And has the complete fugue...and a braw one it is... JF

The CD version won’t be available in the US for a week I believe, but maybe I should just buy that when it comes out and write the earlier purchase of the mp3s off as experience :) Previous Message Unfortunately (or fortunately), I did not review this album from a ‘download!’ I note that on the Presto website, the second movement of SQ7 is only 6:43 long.

This sort of thing happens too often IMO. You'd think there'd be some kind of automated tool that would verify the final distributed files.
