String Quintet & String Quartet “Death and the Maiden”

Album by Franz Schubert & Eckart Runge & Quartetto di Cremona

String Quintet and String Quartet "Death and the Maiden" are chamber works by Franz Schubert, composed in 1828 and 1824 respectively. Musically, the quartet juxtaposes a sombre, dramatic opening with a set of variations that intensify emotional contrast, while the quintet broadens the ensemble with an extra viola and unfolds expansive, lyrical movements that illustrate Schubert's late harmonic richness and formal expansion in chamber music.
