The Alban Berg Quartett approach Schubert with classical discipline while vividly conveying the mysterious fervent power that is so instantaneously unique in the composer's works. They capture the quintessentially Viennese spirit of Schubert, as ABQ's members were all nurtured in the city's musical tradition. While relishing the scope of Schubert's often daring musical designs, they bring an intimate understanding of the composer's mercurial shifts of emotion.
