A masterpiece of chamber music that combines clarity and tension.
The Vienna String Quartet performs Schubert's two great quartets. This performance blends delicate emotion with a sense of tension, blending classical beauty with romantic expression.
The Vienna String Quartet's performance of Schubert combines elegance with deep lyricism. The tense rhythm and dense overlapping of strings in No. 14, "Death and the Maiden," are impressive, dramatically highlighting the theme of death and rebirth. Though unfinished, No. 12, "Quartet Fragment," is highly polished and exudes a quiet, poetic feeling. The balance between each part is exquisite, and the warm sound of the cello in particular envelops the whole piece. This performance perfectly harmonizes classical structure with romantic sentiment.
