The Complete String Quartets, Volume 2: The Original 1951-1952 Columbia Masterworks Recordings

Album by Arnold Schönberg & Juilliard String Quartet

The Complete String Quartets, Volume 2 is a compilation of Arnold Schoenberg's string quartet recordings originally made in 1951–1952. The recordings document Schoenberg's atonal and twelve-tone chamber writing, characterised by dense counterpoint, dissonant harmonic language and strict serial technique, and sit within his later chamber output and the broader development of mid-20th-century serialism.
