Reviews:
Berg saw the compactedness of his music as a source of power, just like the "Three Pieces for Orchestra" where each movement accretes toward more complex rendering of the materials toward an "abyss"the "third piece" March of cognition, So to with the 'String Quartet' Opus 3 in two compact movements.Wonderful shapes atonal in content not quite graphic tibres (Am Steg) yet or as abandoned or desolate as Webern.You have here almost continuous dovetailing of the materials,like the seek each other out for comfort for existence where a secondary line "mimics" "mirrors" the primary material, and then some form of accompaniment,usually with differing timbres as plucked tones against bowed.This is much like Poulantzas (within another context) spoke of social formations of the human spirit. Register as well plays a more global role, largescale structural role where the compactedness gives forward its power with contrasts very classical.Arditti shapes these melodic and contrapuntal lines wonderfully, phrases often begin aggresively doubled-stopped (Two tones simultaneously) then trail off into nothingness here,and not too much "old world" vibrato. Berg didn't know how to jump into this new dodecaphonic language with both feet, but preferred to cautiously walk into it fully aware of his surroundings. Arditti bring a sense of demise however of the times these works were written with the smell of sulphur still in the air with European national wars,perhaps more than Berg would have preferred; you always feel the disquiet, the anxiety only resolved in moments, there are not many 'comfort zones' here otherperhaps the harmonic labguage of Berg who felt attached to it, not content to make contrapuntal lines exist alone independent as Webern and some Schoenberg. For Berg's unrelenting lyricism and affinity for classical shape, was where he sought refuge.
The 'Lyric Suite' then is a more expansive pallette not quite a tone poem? more simply a virtuosic piece for four soloists. No not a tone-poem as we have found in prior interpretations. Although the programmatic,the realm of fantasy was always not far from the Schoenberg's school's thinking, certainly the tyranny of Wagner was still in the air,but it needed to be purged out of one's creativity if the new language was to move forward.
Arditti knows how to keep a third person like distance at times, an impersonal touch to the dark melos that resides here, and release pure fabrics of as in the 'Allegro misterioso', filled with lines that overextend themselves, like sentences without periods or punctuations, altered further with off rhythm pizzicati, like electric charges really. The clarity is overwhelming again if you overly romanticize this music is is horrible,Arditti find an emotive balance always fascinated by the timbres they play,where they are situated in a register.I do notlike the "blending" of timbre, and I could have done with less,the works modernity resides in its contrapuntal language not harmonic,although Berg thought of the two as dependent on each other, still I listen for the threadbare beautiful lines in Berg, There is fine accompanimental dialogue as well, where no player comes in with as secondary,or timidly, as we find in some contemporary interpretations.
