Carnegie Hall Live! ① Schumann: Piano Quintet in E-flat Major, Op. 44 ② Mozart: String Quartet No. 19 in C Major, K. 465 "Dissonance" Alban Berg Quartett Philippe Entremont (piano) ① Recorded: March 1985, Carnegie Hall Music Critic: Kazuhiko Utagasaki (from the liner notes) "From the very beginning of Schumann's Quintet, supported by a wonderful concentration and empathy, I could only admire the performance. The expression, full of the excitement unique to a live performance, unfolds with rich ups and downs and flow, and yet, there is not a single flaw in their characteristic precise ensemble. The driving force leading to the coda of the first movement is also a highlight, and it is only natural that applause erupts from the audience at the end of the third movement, given this performance. Entremont on piano also brilliantly balances with the Alban Berg Quartett with his well-sensed and clear expression. From the double fugue of the final movement to the final chord, the entire performance is permeated with a wonderfully supple concentration. The 'Dissonance' Mozart, which also has a studio recording from about 10 years ago, is an even more lively and beautifully carved performance full of changes, and the four singers responding with emotion create a truly refreshing and deep impression. Moreover, there is not a trace of the heaviness that comes from packing the expression into the performance, which is the amazingness and brilliance unique to the Alban Berg Quartett. One can only be convinced of the reason why they wanted to record this live performance."
