Quatuor N° 14 «La Jeune Fille Et La Mort» / Quatuor N° 13 «Rosamunde»

Album by Franz Schubert & The Hollywood String Quartet & Wiener Konzerthaus Quartett

This release pairs Franz Schubert's String Quartets Nos. 14 and 13, both composed in 1824. Both quartets exemplify Schubert's mature chamber style, featuring lyrical melodies, stark contrasts between movements, an expanded harmonic vocabulary and the incorporation of song-derived material and variation techniques, and they occupy a late place in his chamber output where he explored larger-scale forms and heightened dramatic expression.
First released: September 2011
