EMI Classics, 1997 THE Performance I've heard several performances of late Beethoven, but nobody has come even close to what the Alban Berg Quartet does with these pieces. To me, they're the Pollini of string quartets: staggeringly good at the technical aspects of everything they touch, and much more ...             Schubert: String Quartet in Cm No12, D703; String Quartet in G No15, D887, Op161 Franz Schubert, Alban Berg Quartet, ... Angel Records, 2000 Stunning Balanced & Lyrical Performance For a couple years I have been listening to the Emerson Quartet's versions of the late Schubert string quartets. In particular, I always loved the manic intensity of their G-major performance (quartet #15). Then I purchased this ABQ disc, and I haven't listened to the ...             Dvorak: String Quartet Op 96; Smetana: String Quartet in E minor Antonin Dvorak, Bedrich Smetana, ... Angel Records, 2001 Bravo--masterful live performances by the ABQ Amazon isn't exactly spilling over with reviews of the Alban Berg Quartet, despite the fact that they dominated quartet playing in Europe for two decades. Here we get live performances of Dvorak's evergreen "American" Quartet Op. 96 (1989) and Smetana's equally beloved ...             Beethoven - The Complete String Quartets / Alban Berg Quartet Ludwig van Beethoven, Alban Berg Quartet, ... EMI Classics, 1999 Budget priced, in a strange order, but excellent A great job by the Berg quartet. I started with the old Columbia LP of the Budapest's version of the final quartets, but it would be a false note for the Berg quartet to try to recapture the feeling of disaster that pervades the Budapest versions, made as these were ...             Mozart: Chamber Music Composer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Performer: Alban Berg Quartet EMI Classics, 2003             Schubert - String Quintet in C / Alban Berg Quartet · Schiff Franz Schubert, Alban Berg Quartett, ... 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: Lyric Suite Kronos Quartet, Dawn Upshaw Nonesuch, 2003 New way to understand a masterpiece The Lyric Suite is , undoubtedly , one of the most important work of chamber music written in 20th century. After the death of the people involved in one obscure affair of the composer's life , we know that this work describes step by step one impossible passion ...             Kronos Quartet: At The Grave of Richard Wagner Kronos Quartet, Alban Berg, ... Nonesuch, 1993 Quite excellent all around This is a truly fascinating CD. Perhaps it doesn't have the greatest balance in terms of pieces, but that certainly shouldn't put you off at all. The opening piece (the title track if you want to be "pop") is a truly sublime Lisztian work - you'll find none of the ...             Brahms: String Quartet in Cm No1, Op51/1; String Quartet in Am No2, Op51/2 Johannes Brahms, Antonin Dvorak, ... Teldec, 1994 Brahms' Quartets Among His Most "Modern" Works There's no "problem" here, unless the listener is timid. These are gorgeous quartets. Unlike Schubert's beautiful late quartets, the melodic lines in Brahms' quartets are not clean and sharp, but they make up for it with a harmonic richness that is simply ...             Alban Berg Quartet Mozart: String Quartets Nos. 14 - 23 Alban Berg Quartet, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Warner Music France, 2002 A bargain - and perfectg ensemble The Alban Berg Quartet are legendary and these CD's contain some of their best work. They seem like one instrument and it is difficult to imagine a closer ensemble. Particularly affecting are the slower movements, where Mozart's sublime music is allowed time to ...             Schubert: String Quartets Nos. 13 "Rosamunde" & 14 "Death and the Maiden" Franz Schubert, Alban Berg Quartet Capitol, 1990 Powerful and dramatic - one of the best "Death & the Maiden"s These are studio recordings, dating from 1985 and completing a series begun in the late 70s with the C-major quintet and pursued in the early 80s with the 15th quartet and the "Trout" quintet. The "Death and the Maiden" here is not to be confused with the later, live ...             Mozart: The Ten Great String Quartets Alban Berg String Quartet, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... EMI Classics, 1992 Marvellous Mozart This is a marvellous album, and one of the best modern-instrument versions. The Berg go at this music with determination and passion and precision, and the result is often electifying. To my mind their playing is better here, and they are better recorded, than in ...             Mozart: String Quartets Nos. 14 15 16 17 & 20 Alban Quartet Berg Phantom Sound & Vision, 2007             Berg, Janacek, Dutilleux Quartets / Petersen Quartet Alban Berg, Henri Dutilleux, ... Capriccio, 2008             Beethoven: The Late String Quartets Ludwig van Beethoven, Alban Berg Quartet EMI Classics, 2005 Free advice, etc. Since no one's reviewed this, I'll wade in, ignorance notwithstanding. Just bought this set last night so I don't know what to think yet.
