    5 out of 5 stars Energy and Pathos.......2005-06-06

    Aside from the enthusiastic applause before and after each performance, you would never know this recording is live. The sound is clear and balanced throughout. The Berg quartet achieves a high level of catharsis with both quartets, and convey their passionate and inspired performance convincingly to the listener. For the first quartet, I recommend also reading Tolstoy's short story of the same name "The Kreutzer Sonata" for an understanding of the extra-musical associations with the quartet. The quartet is haunting and beautiful without reading it, but I think in this case having a real story to go along with it makes the impact much more intense. This is a great recording, and cheaper than most. I obviously recommend it!
