String Quartets: No. 13 in A minor / No. 14 in D minor "Death and the Maiden"

Album by Franz Schubert & Guarneri Quartet

This release collects two late string quartets by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, both composed in 1824. They exemplify Schubert's mature chamber style, juxtaposing lyrical, song-like melodies with urgent, restless passages, dense counterpoint and stark harmonic shifts that signal a move toward greater dramatic intensity in his late output.

First released: 1997
