Exquisite...

I'm surprised that no one has reviewed this fine disc: acutally, I'm surprised at my surprise, because I'm yet fully aware that Schoenberg remains highly unpopular--even less popular than Berg, or even Webern--and certainly less popular than Stravinsky and Bartok.
The reason for Schoenberg's enduring unpopularity may be explained with the "YOU-CAN'T-HANDLE-THE-TRUTH!" cliche: Schoenberg's iron ethos of Expressionistically excoriating existential quandaries is a vastly unpopular proposition.
In any case, Schoenberg's string quartets Nos. 2 & 4 are excellent absolute music in their own right. The string quartet being of course the quintessential genre of art-music, and Schoenberg tackles the form in a more excellent way than Bartok or even Hindemith.
These are great works, very listenable, presented in superior realizations and recorded excellently. The Klimt cover art is an added bonus.
