Quartet no. 14 in D minor / Der Tod und das Mädchen (Lied)

Album by Franz Schubert & Gustav Mahler & English Chamber Orchestra & Jeffrey Tate & Ann Murray

This is a string quartet by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1824. Musically it sits at the crossroads of late Classical form and early Romantic expression, characterised by a turbulent minor-key language, striking contrasts of mood and dynamics, and the incorporation of material from one of Schubert's songs as a recurring thematic element, reflecting a pivotal development in his mature chamber music output.
First released: 1986
