There is little doubt that the greatest string quartet of the first half of the 20th century is Alban Berg's Lyric Suite. Not surprisingly, the first release in the comprehensive survey of the 20th-century string quartet--by the unparalleled Arditti String Quartet--contains an electric performance of the piece, as well as the String Quartet op. 3. If the only criticism of their performance is that it may be too intense for some people's taste, lacking the requisite warmth and sensitivity traditionally associated with the string quartet, it is a criticism that most performers would only hope to receive. If you have never heard the Arditti String Quartet, this disc is an excellent introduction not only to one of the greatest and most passionate pieces ever written but also to one of the greatest quartets ever to play. --Kirk Noreen
