Every now and again, EMI releases some of the Alban Berg Quartet's recordings of Haydn's string quartets. This particular recording of Haydn's Op. 33/3, plus the two quartets of Op. 77 and the Serenade, Op. 3/5, only nominally by Haydn, was compiled from three different live performances: the Op. 33 from 1999, the Op. 77 from 1993, and the Op. 3 from 1994. But the different recording dates make no difference in the sound of the recordings, which is uniformly clear and warm. And the different dates certainly make no difference in the quality of the performances, which are uniformly excellent. Beyond its tremendous technical skill and ideal ensemble, the Alban Berg Quartet superbly captures all the elements that make Haydn Haydn: exquisitely lyrical melodies, vigorously rhythmic tempos, wonderfully wrought structures, and, above all, deep humanity. Even in the simple Serenade, the Alban Berg Quartet's simplicity seems more sublime than straightforward, transforming a work that is likely not by Haydn into a delicately lovely piece of ineffable beauty. Every now and again, EMI releases some of the Alban Berg Quartet's Haydn recordings, and every single time it's as good as it gets in this world.
