Customer Reviews

The dancer from the dance
With taste in music being of infinite variety, anyone has the right to dislike any given piece of music. But to villify a recorded performance because of dislike the music, as one reviewer here has done, is patently inappropriate and unfair. These are magnificent performances, magnificently recorded. The Leipgiz Quartet's is probably the best recording ever made of Berg's Lyric Suite. So if you love and admire this music, or if you're interested in learning it, don't be disuaded by someone who does not distinguish between the music and a recorded performance of that music. Your investment in this disc will be well-spent.

Another Excellent Disc from the Leipzig String Quartet...

Berg's String Quartet, Op. 3 has always been a favorite of mine, and here it is finely realized by the Leipzig SQ on the wonderful MD&G label. Highly recommended, as are all the recordings by Leipzig SQ of music of the Second Viennese School.

Fair performance
Much better is The La Salle on the DG 8 cd set. La Salle gets at the essence of the music. Wish I could say more on the Leipzig performance, I sold the cd last yr after being disappointed. Can't recall specific, but knew was not very well performaed. The La Salle takes one on a wonderful journey into Berg's intreguing sound world.
