A stunning version of Schubert’s famous ‘Death and the Maiden’ String Quartet performed on period instruments by one of the leading string quartets of our time, the Quatuor Mosaïques. The ‘String Quartet No.14 in D Minor’, otherwise known as The Death and the Maiden, is considered one of the pillars of the chamber music repertoire. It’s a work that shows Schubert struggling in a world in which he has a lost his bearings, but also yearning for heaven. It is his testament to death. This release also features one of Schubert’s earlier quartets, the deeply foreboding D173 in G minor. This is a very dense, concise work, cohesive in its ideas, and technically challenging for its performers, with the fourth movement, especially, representing an veritable obstacle course. The Quatuor Mosaïques decided to present these two quartets together for comparison. The juxtaposition is revealing, setting the works in perspective, providing enlightenment, emotion and enrichment, as well as allowing deeper insight. Thus the Quatuor Mosaïques continues to discover this master of the string quartet genre, Franz Schubert. “Their performance of Death and the Maiden is music-making of a high order, felt and carried out by players animated as though by a single mind and impulse, yet each of them seeming to respond afresh at every moment...their colours and phrasing, and the subtlety of their playing, are a marvel.” Sunday Times, 23rd May 2010 **** “The slight, rather Haydnesque G minor quartet D173 gets a fresh, rhythmically taut performance, in which the aggressive edge to the Mosaïques sound seems totally appropriate” The Guardian, 20th May 2010 *** “The Amish severity of Quatuor Mosaïque's gut strings acquires a narcotic quality in the Andante con moto variations of the later work. Boldly articulated and intelligently shaped, this is a claustrophobic, dramatic performance.” The Independent on Sunday, 13th June 2010 “Schubert’s Death and the Maiden quartet is so often played it’s in danger of becoming hackneyed, but the Quatuor Mosaïques have restored its freshness...[The performance is] chastely serious rather than despairing, but dramatic when it needs to be.” The Telegraph, 1st June 2010 **** “The Mosaïques’ gut strings bring a dark and husky colouring to the quartet in which Schubert stares death in the face, D 810...[they] shine in the slow movement’s lyricism...Also featured is an earlier, tauter Schubert quartet...dispatched here with unforced beauty.” The Times, 15th May 2010 *** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
