About the artist Alban Berg Qt

For over thirty years the Alban Berg Qt has performed regularly in music capitals and major festivals throughout the world. They have their own concert series at the Vienna Konzerthaus (where they made their debut in 1971 and where they are now Honorary Members), at the Royal Festival Hall London, (where, Associate Artists for over 15 years, they become Quartet Laureate from 2005/6), at the Opera Zurich, the Theatre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, the Philharmonie in Cologne and at the Alte Oper Frankfurt. Since they were founded the Alban Berg Qt have been prolific recording artists and have received over thirty major international awards, including the Grand Prix du Disque, the Deutsche Schallplattenpreis, the Edison Prize, the first International Classical Music Award, the Japan Grand Prix, and the Gramophone Magazine Award. Public and critics regard many of these recordings as definitive. Press reviews for the Alban Berg Qt confirm their reputation: "Certainly one of the greatest ensembles in chamber music" (France Soir, Paris), "Stunning perfection" (Washington Post), "One of the greatest ensembles of our time" (San Francisco Chronicle), "A wonder by the name of the Alban Berg Quartet" (Presse, Vienna), "Few if any quartets can match their strength and assurance in the Viennese classics and romantics" (Times), "The Alban Berg Qt have achieved legendary standards in chamber music playing" (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), "The Alban Berg Qt overwhelms with Beethoven" (J Kaiser, Süddeutsche Zeitung). In 2005 the quartet suffered a painful loss with the death of their violist Thomas Kakuska. The Alban Berg Qt continues its concert activities with Isabel Charisius, both out of conviction and in the spirit of Thomas Kakuska.
