Theodor W. Adorno & Hanns Eisler - Works For String Quartet (1996) (Leipziger Streichquartett)

On the album there are works for string quartet by Hans Eisler and Theador Adorno.

The Eisler works are from the 1920s and are interesting and show his great talent. The works by Adorno, particular his full string quartet are excellent. They are composed using the 12 tone technique and are beautiful, showing his debt to Alban Berg with whom he took composition lessons.

The full string quartet is as fine as any composition I have heard using the twelve tone system of composition.
