Is this the link?

Edit: his string quartet in C minor, Op.87 (no.2? The string quartet Op.87 I'm aware of is in G minor!) is being performed on 20 July. I hope a recording will ensue- just as I hope someone, maybe the Free Library of Philadelphia, will upload the parts of the work to IMSLP sometime...)

In order to curtail the risk of two separate Julius Benedict-related discussions independently from one another, and since it's basically event/recording-based, I've merged both topics here.
