  Lyric Suite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lyric Suite is a six-movement work for string quartet written by Alban Berg between 1925 and 1926.
Though publicly dedicated to Alexander von Zemlinsky (from whose 'Lyric Symphony' it quotes, the work has recently been revealed to possess a 'secret dedication' and outline a 'secret programme'.
Redlich (ibid, p.142) described, "the concealed vocality of the Lyric Suite," despite having no knowledge of the setting of Baudelaire in the finale movement, deciphered by Douglass M. Green in 1976 from what George Perle calls "Berg's cryptic notations".

 Capstone Records: Harold Boatrite - Sonatas & Suites
The sonatas and suites on this disc were all written between the years 1955 and 1965, which the composer describes as his chamber-music period.
The adagio of the Lyric Suite, to take but one example, is a two-part invention that transcends its own self-imposed austerity, leaving the listener richly satisfied.
The Suite is marvelously evocative of the baroque era while the Sonata-Fantasia is a contemporary virtuosic vehicle for an ancient instrument.

 Zemlinsky Lyric Suite [IL]: Classical CD Reviews- April 2003 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Dorothy Dorrow has a lyric soprano’s sweetness suitable for the innocence of a young girl impossibly in love while a deeper timbred Vlatka Orsanic is more volcanic in Gielen’s more urgent pacing and more dramatic approach.
The Lyric Suite pieces, after the Zemlinsky composition, are colourful and lyrical; experimenting with twelve-tone technique and frequently, in Gielen’s Andante amoroso, and in the tremolandi and pizzicatos of the Allegro misterioso, I was reminded of Bernard Herrmann’s musical language for Hitchcock’s Psycho and Vertigo.
Described as a "subtly constructed work which invokes a doomsday atmosphere by means of extreme drama" it pitches a lyrical soprano line against a grotesque or violent or coldly remote musical landscape.

 Arts | Berg Lyric Suite: Upshaw/Kronos Quartet
It was George Perle's discovery of the background to the Lyric Suite in 1977 that triggered the explosion of interest in the autobiographical subtexts in Alban Berg's music.
Perle was given a score of the 1927 string quartet that Berg had inscribed and sent to Hanna Fuchs-Robettin, the wife of a Czech industrialist with whom he had fallen in love in 1925, maintaining a long-distance, clandestine relationship with her for the rest of his life.
The last movement, Largo Desolato, went even further: it was composed as a song without words that articulated his despair at being separated from Hanna, to a text by Baudelaire in Stefan George's German translation, and with a vocal line buried in the instrumental parts.

 Chick Corea MP3 Downloads - Chick Corea Music Downloads - Chick Corea Music Videos
Lyric Suite for Sextet reunites the Grammy-winning duo of vibraharpist Gary Burton and pianist Chick Corea, augmented this time by a string quartet.
There's no denying the pair's technical proficiency creates some sparks, but the suite's abstruse melodies and discursive arrangements are daunting to follow.
Similar to Frank Zappa's Jazz From Hell (which won a Grammy of its own in 1987, albeit in the rock category), Lyric Suite for Sextet may be too smart for its own good.

Lyric/Suite is a collection of tracks originally designed to accompany a dance piece conceived by choreographer Davida Monk from Jan Zwucky's work Lyric Philosophy, itself an exploration of the non-rational processes involved in artistic creation.
The differences are obvious right away: "Overture" opens the suite with lush and heavily-reverbed ambient guitar.
Quello che ci viene offerto ora invece sono registrazioni risalenti al 2002 per uno spettacolo di danza commissionato dalla coreografa canadese Davida Monk basato sul lavoro "Lyric Philosophy" di Jan Zwicky dove viene affrontata la componente non razionale che è insita in ogni processo creativo.

Anna told me That Louis Horst reaction towards Lyric Suite was that she was now a choreographer with language of her own.
Walking with Anna and looking through her eyes, her frame and focusing, how the trees grow with a steady breed, with its own tempo as something that move, how the branches are looking towards the sun and their relations this is a part of Lyric Suite for me.
I like very much Lyric Suite because the main skill it demands from the Dancers is Sensitivity.

The story of the "Lulu Suite" is worth repeating -- Berg could not get the opera "Lulu" performed, as it was banned by the Nazis as "degenerate art." The suite was slipped past the censors by Erich Kleiber, who conducted the first performance in Berlin on November 30th, 1934.
A hidden love song, the "Lyric Suite" is famously the musical story of the unconsummated romance between the married Berg and a married woman.
I was used to the Lyric Suite pieces in the Karajan version (still not to be missed)with their languid and lush textures, but Boulez is just as good in his own way if more up-tempo.

There have been many recordings of Berg's Lyric Suite, written in memory of, or homage to, a brief, concealed love affair the composer had with a married woman.
On this recording of Alban Berg's Lyric Suite, Kronos reunites with Nonesuch artist Dawn Upshaw in a rare recording of the work with a vocal part in the closing movement.
The Lyric Suite is, undoubtedly, one of the most important work of chamber music written in 20th century.

Horist's dynamic musical score showcases his virtuosity and sensitivity with thirteen pieces ranging from ambient soundscapes to frenetic loop-based constructions, lush chordal sweeps to percussive prepared guitar.
According to Davida Monk: Lyric takes it's cue from the work "Lyric Philosophy" by Jan Zwicky in which she champions the non-rational meanings wrought through the artistic creation process.
Through the use of theme and variation, Horist weaves an abstract yet coherent sonic narrative for this multi-media performance piece.

The hearty piece is rife with passing allusions to Peer Gynt, gratefully spared from yet another Grieg set.
Sir John Barbirolli, too, often programmed Grieg to excellent effect; here, we have 1969/1970 readings of the sonorous Homage March, with its opening cello quartet, and the folksy Lyric Suite, whose reading by Nicolai Malko I would no less welcome back to the active CD catalogue.
The reading of the Holberg Suite is sleek and straightforward; the seamless string line seems to play itself.
