FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE COMPLETE COLLECTION OF THEIR AUDIO \u0026amp; VIDEO RECORDINGS. EVENT BOX SET OF 62 CDs + 8 DVDs + 70 PAGE BOOKLET.-----2020 marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Alban Berg Quartet, which was active from 1970 to 2008. The Alban Berg Quartet is undoubtedly one of the greatest quartets of the twentieth century, and one of the most illustrious representatives of the great Viennese tradition. Rare for a chamber music ensemble, the Alban Berg Quartet has seen several of its recordings become best sellers, notably their legendary first Beethoven cycle which sold over 500,000 copies. This 62CD + 8DVD box set is the most ambitious editorial project ever dedicated to a string quartet, bringing together the entirety of the Alban Berg Quartet's recordings made between 1974 and 2003 for the EMI and TELDEC labels, and presented with their original covers (including recordings with Alfred Brendel, Elisabeth Leonskaja, Philippe Entremont, Sabine Meyer, Ernst Ottensamer...). Covering a repertoire ranging from classical to contemporary and spanning about thirty years of the Alban Berg Quartett's career, these recordings testify to the achievement of an ensemble whose very name honors both the tradition and the innovative musical spirit of its hometown, Vienna. Founded in 1970, it quickly gained recognition as one of the defining quartets of the 20th century and subsequently made two landmark recordings of the complete Beethoven cycle, the first in the studio, the second live at the Konzerthaus in Vienna (presented here in both CD and DVD versions). This set of 70 discs, which also includes DVDs of Schubert and a live performance in Saint Petersburg, also documents the collaborations of the Alban Berg Quartett with artists such as Sabine Meyer, Elisabeth Leonskaja, Alfred Brendel, Rudolf Buchbinder, and Philippe Entremont.","brand":"Quatuor Alban Berg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57584142516568,"sku":null,"price":20200612.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/quatuor-alban-berg_alban-berg-quartett-the-complete-recordings_2020_war","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
