Schönberg's Verklarte Nacht, the chamber version, preferably any recording from around the 50s or 60s. My favorite is the Hollywood Quartet's recording.
The late Beethoven string quartets
Shostakovich's string quartets, though the 8th & esp. 15th fit thread title most Peteris Vasks 'Musica Dolorosa' as well as his 4th string quartet
