You will find that BTQ and Sotto Voce are VERY different kinds of groups. BTQ is pretty traditional (transcritions of well known classical music and original compositions that sound like classical music) and Sotto Voce is on the ragged edge of Tuba/Euphonium chamber music. If you happen to buy "Consequences", turn down the volume before the first note.

You can find recordings of BTQ at:

And Sotto Voce at:

EDIT: Bedtime for the kiddos interrupted my original post. I was going to suggest some more Quartet CDs you might enjoy, and for various reasons.
