I have the D956 by the Emerson String Quartet with Mstislav Rostropovich (DG 1992). Sound quality is very good -- except the cellos are a bit forward and prominent -- and the performance is robotically flawless, with the only quibble is the adagio could use a touch more passion. I had this since it first came out and have been playing it regularly ever since.
Since we're on Schubert's chamber music:
Schubert: Piano Trios Opp. 99 & 100, Andreas Staier, Daniel Sepec & Roel Dieltiens -
This is a period instrument recording and I would highly recommend it as a change of pace. Wonderful sound and an excellent performance.
