Alban Berg Quartett - Beethoven: The Late String Quartets

Composed in total physical deafness, Beethoven's late quartets are the Mount Everest of Western chamber music. The Viennese Alban Berg Quartett captures this profound journey with architectural poise and warm Austrian tone, unravelling the sublime seven-movement arch of the Quartet in C-sharp minor, Op. 131 with majestic contrapuntal lucidity.
