Berg's String Quartet, Op. 3 has always been a favorite of mine, and here it is finely realized by the Leipzig SQ on the wonderful MD&G label. Highly recommended, as are all the recordings by Leipzig SQ of music of the Second Viennese School.

I bought this CD in spite of some negative reviews. Upon listening, I found those reviews completely unjustified. Both the quartet and the lyric suite performances were warm and completely accessible.

Much better is The La Salle on the DG 8 cd set. La Salle gets at the essence of the music. Wish I could say more on the Leipzig performance, I sold the cd last yr after being disappointed. Can't recall specific, but knew was not very well performaed. The La Salle takes one on a wonderful journey into Berg's intreguing sound world.
