I'm not really much into classical music. Like many plebs, I just like the odd soundtrack. A while ago I read this long article series that introduced various composers and offered up sound clips to show what their styles were and I found Berg to speak to me more than most. People have been shoving Mozart and other ancient, well worn composers in my face for years and I've felt very little. Then I hear this supposedly less relatable stuff by this Berg guy and I'm actually moved. Maybe some people just need to hear some more modern stuff to get into classical? My local record store has nothing with this composer, but it's the one thing that has captured me so far outside of film soundtracks.
I'm a total pea-brain when it comes to classical music, but this seems very high quality to me:
