Description: | Franz Schubert: String Quartet No. 14 D Minor, op. post. D 810 ("The Death And The Maiden"); Stringquartet No. 12 C Minor, op. post. D 703 - Juilliard String Quartet
For sheer dramatic intensity there Is hardly another Quartet in the literature to rival "Death And The Maiden." All four movements have moments of almost frightening anguish. The Juilliard players interpret it with biting vigor and searching comprehension. Their performance is exciting. It is broad and moving. The instrumental tone is powerful without coarseness and the ensemble is in sensitive balance throughout. This recording of the composition is true only one that shares a disc with other music. The Quartettsatz is a single movement, all that Schubert wrote for a projected full-length Quartet. It is a mature work, having been composed after the "Trout Quintet", and then perhaps forgotten, like the two movements of the Unfinished Symphony. It is given a vivacious performance.
Stereo Review - PATRICIA KOPATCHINSKAJA / GRAMMY WINNERA pillar of chamber music repertoire, Schubert's String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, known as Death and the Maiden, was written in 1824 after Schubert suffered through a series of debilitating illnesses and realized that he was dying. It is the composer's testament to death, and is named for the theme of the second movement which was taken from an 1817 publication of the same title. "With the wonderful Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra we are presently exploring Schubert's quatuor 'Death and the maiden.' Of course we have to include Schubert's earlier song with the same title on the poem of Matthias Claudius. This song belongs to the medieval tradition of the dance of death. Therefore we also play "Toden Tanz" (with poor me dancing), an ancient death dance written up by the German organ player August Norminger... we also play one of Dowland's Pavans from "Seven Teares." Add to this "Moro lasso"... In between we also refresh our ears with other unsettling works by modern composers..." (Patricia Kopatchinskaja) The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra is based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The orchestra presents more than 130 concerts and educational programs annually across the Minneapolis and St. Paul area. They are regularly heard on "Performance Today" and SymphonyCast, American Public Media's nationally syndicated radio programs.Comes in a 2-panel digipack with a 36-page booklet
