Schubert - String Quintet in C / Alban Berg Quartet · Schiff

Franz Schubert

EMI Classics, 1999

The best...very Viennese...very Schubert
Although many American concert-goers and players prefer the Emerson with Rostro, after listening to the Berg, I still prefer it. There is more idiomatic playing, with the right amount of rubato. It just seems "right". If you've played the quintet yourself, you'll ...

Alban Berg Quartett: Beethoven String Quartets, Vol. 3

EMI Classics, 2006

Technique AND feeling!
Their technique is close to flawless - and in these live concerts, there is ample display of emotion and humor - while still allowing the genius of Beethoven, above all - to be the main attraction! Good taste in video, and great sound. My only regret is that I didn't ...

Bartok: String Quartets 1-6

Bela Bartok

Angel, 2004

Bartok goes to Vienna (and even smiles a little)
This 1987 set of the Bartok quartets (which amazon shows as out of print but is actually available in several bargain editions from EMI) runs against the grain. It feels more viennese than Hungarian, for one thing, more civilized than barbaric, more beautiful than ...

Dvorak: String Quartets Opp. 51 And 105

Antonin Dvorak, Alban Berg Quartett

Angel Records, 2001

perfect perfomance, perfect recording
And some people won't like that. The Penguin CD guide routinely complains that the Berg quartet's recordings of the standard literature are too perfect, insufficiently gritty, insufficiently unusual. To my mind, however, that is what allows me to listen to their ...

Marvelous
There's really no use in trying to review this album; just imagine every glowing superlative you can and it would apply. I never thought it possible to fall in love with serial music, but "Lulu" made me do just that. Berg really can write twelve-tone music that ...
