Berg, Alban - Lyric Suite; Death and the Maiden

---

---

Inspired by the black aura of Romanticism, Novus Quartet’s new disc brings together two major works from the Romantic repertoire. The finest Korean musicians put their virtuosity in the service of Schubert’s moving Death and the Maiden and Berg’s Lyrical Suite. In their own way, these works proceed to the encryption of the feeling of love. It is not a question of hiding it but of expressing it more powerfully than with words. And the intermingling of reminiscences weaves an irresistible poetic discourse –Schubert quoting one of his Lieder and Berg as homage to Zemlinsky’s Symphonie Lyrique.A record that once again allows this captivating quartet to hear the full extent of his talents in romantic music, from the dawn of the period until his last fires.They literally thrive in this repertoire!
