The Alexander String Quartet turns its attention to Mozart's last years, beginning with this recording of the final four quartets (the first of a three-volume set which will add his other great chamber works from that period). Eric Bromberger's liner notes are prefaced by comments from ASQ violist Paul Yarbrough, excerpted here: ''Taken as a whole, Mozart's works for string quartet, piano quartet, viola quintet, and clarinet quintet are a monumental accomplishment, as they codified the evolution of classical chamber music. He had taken Haydn's brilliant efforts with the string quartet and elevated and broadened the genre, while adhering to Haydn's formal and conversational precedent. But however much Mozart's late chamber works conform, they are never ''conformist.'' They still have the capacity to be stunningly original, and even, especially for the listeners of the time, shocking.'' Now in its 35th season, the Alexander String Quartet's discography includes major cycles by Bartok, Kodaly, Mozart, Shostakovich, and Beethoven. ASQ is also an important advocate of new music, with over 35 commissions and premieres.
