The members of the Alban Berg Quartett learned and refined their art at the very heart of the Viennese musical tradition. Here, in transcendent live performances recorded at Vienna's Konzerthaus, they rise to the challenge of the complex and ambitious works that stand at the summit of the chamber repertoire: Beethoven's Late Quartets.

"These performances are taken from an outstanding modern Beethoven quartet cycle, given by the Alban Berg Quartet in Vienna in 1989. To their trademark polish, finesse and intellectual penetration, the ABQ adds, where appropriate, a wildness and dangerous energy that is both exciting and characteristically Beethovenian."
