The Alban Berg Quartet has been the leading draw in string quartets, for over thirty years. The Viennese quartet is revered, notably in Europe, for its ablility to communicate the same classical elegance and Central European style in Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert as in Berg, Bartok or Janacek.
Among their many recording projects have been the complete quartets by Beethoven, Brahms, Berg, Webern and Bartok, the complete late Mozart and late Schubert quartets, Haydn, Dvorak, Schumann, Ravel, Debussy, Stravinsky, von Einem and Haubenstock-Ramati, as well as live recordings from the Carnegie Hall, New York, the Opera Comique in Paris, the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London and particularly from the Konzerthaus in Vienna.
Founded in 1971, the Alban Berg Quartett is on an international tour of farwell concerts in Europe, the United States and South America. The last concert will take place in Buenos Aires in July 2008.
