Music reviews of Beethoven - The Complete String Quartets / Alban Berg Quartet

Music Review: The Late SQs are in a Class of their Own......
Rating: 5 Stars

Well let me tell you, Beethoven was a ground breaking composer in just about every category he composed in and his SQs are NO Exception. B just amazes me with his twists and turns in his SQ compositions. B was a moody individual and his SQs reflect his personality. Everything here is exceptional. He pushes the limits and then pulls back the reigns and provides you with a heart wrenching slow mvt which melts you. There is something for everyone here, he includes the full range of emotions.

From what I read about B, he tirelessly researched his predecessors and found a new and inventive prospective which they had not conceived. For instance, the Mid-SQs, Op. 59, 74, 95 move in an uncharted direction, which no other composer was following at the time. The result, was invention and they never lose their listener appeal.

As for his late SQs, he seems to reach to the future and beyond. Think of all of those modern musicians who reached to the future or were or are ahead of their time. Well, B did that two centuries ahead of them. The late SQs are celebral leaps and served as models to many after him.

As for the performance, this is Best!! ABQ have made B's SQs their own!!!
