Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). The recorded sound of this album is absolutely stunning. Rich, beautiful, 'three dimensional' sound. I am listening to the high definition, audiophile version and it really is worth the additional outlay. They bring wonderful tension and many subtle colours to this beautiful music. Surprisingly, I found the first movement a little sluggish at times, but this was greatly compensated by the phenomenal drama they breath into the music, and playing of profound subtlety and sensitivity.

When Schubert returns to the song in 1824 and starts work on the string quartet, death has nevertheless grown even more real: in the meantime he has become acquainted with pain and disease during the bouts of the syphilis that he knows will kill him. He turns the song into a set of variations, preceding it with a ferocious Allegro, and following it with a Scherzo and a Finale that have been described as ‘the dance of the demon fiddler’ and ‘a dance with death’. The acclaimed Chiaroscuro Quartet performs the work on gut strings, which brings out the vulnerability and desperation even further

The acclaimed Chiaroscuro Quartet performs the work on gut strings, which brings out the vulnerability and desperation even further. The players then let us down gently with the youthful String Quartet N. 9 in G minor, a work in which the minor key offers Schubert the opportunity to play with light and shadows, rather than full-scale drama. Their unvarnished sonorities (vibrato minimal or non-existent) make Schubert’s harmonic clashes all the more excruciating.
