Background: On this recording of Alban Berg's Lyric Suite, the Kronos Qt is reunited with Dawn Upshaw in a rare recording of the work with a vocal part in the closing movement. Berg had originally intended to close the quartet with a setting of Baudelaire's poem De profundis but instead dispersed the melody among the instruments of the quartet. He perceived that performing it among the scandal mongering Viennese would have encouraged unwanted speculation about his infatuation with Hanna Fuchs-Robettin, a wife and mother of two. In 1997 the American composer and Berg scholar George Perle discovered a specially annotated copy of the score and found Berg's original intention. |
