V.V.(3) schoenberg quartet recordings?

[The Great Quail]

>Can anyone recommend a recording of the complete Schoenberg quartets 
>refered to in this section? How many quartets did he compose? 

Not counting some earlier pieces and experimentations, Schoenberg 
composed four "official" quartets (Op. 7, 10, 30 & 37).

My favorite renditions are from the amazing Arditti Quartet, experts 
in the modern and postmodern repertoire. All four Schoenberg quartets 
were released as a 2-CD set from Montaigne: 1994 MO 782024, with the 
Arditti and Dawn Upshaw as soprano on Quartet II. Unfortunately, I 
can't find this set at either Amazon or AllClassicalMusic.com, so 
perhaps it has been deleted?

Anyway, if you can find any versions by the Arditti, snatch them up!
