This recording is a collection of chamber music performed by the Alban Berg Quartet.
The Alban Berg Quartett is at the center of this Mozart collection – quartets, quintets and a chamber version of the piano concerto K 414. The pleasures that await the listener are expressed by Gramophone magazine:
“The K 515 and K 516 Quintets are a real treat; the first movement of the G minor has an unusual urgency, and the lovely, balanced phrasing emphasises the singing, melodic nature of the music. The disc of concert performances with Brendel is another high point… In the K 414 Concerto… the quartet’s accompaniments are exceptionally refined and intimate… Brendel is in particularly sprightly form in the finale.”
We get over six hours of music by Mozart! What more can one want?
