Schubert: String Quartets "Rosamunde", "Death and the Maiden" / Doric String Quartet
On its new release, the Doric String Quartet turns to the music of Franz Schubert. It is the Quartetâs fifth release for Chandos, and the discography has gone from strength to strength. MusicWeb International said of the recent Korngold release (CHAN 10707): âThe Doric Quartet seem to have a Midas touch, and any repertoire they commit to disc comes out sparkling.â Their Schumann release (CHAN 10692) was âRecording of the Monthâ in both Gramophone and BBC Music.
In March 1824, despite describing himself as âthe most unhappy and wretched creature in the worldâ, Schubert completed not only the great Octet, but also the two String Quartets recorded here.
The String Quartet in D minor is considered the greatest of Schubertâs late quartets, mainly on account of its raw emotional honesty, which reaches an almost unendurable pitch in the second movement, a set of variations based on Schubertâs song Der Tod und das MĂ€dchen. All four movements are driven by extensively repeated rhythmic figures, reminiscent of the musical style of Schubertâs great idol, Beethoven.
Full of Schubertian ambivalence, the String Quartet in A minor is a deeply intimate work. The opening, expressing brooding sadness, is played by the first violin over a restless accompaniment, subsequently interrupted by flurries of almost manic energy. In the second movement, Schubert âborrowedâ the main melody from the third Entrâacte of his incidental music to the play Rosamunde, FĂŒrstin von Zypern (1823) by Wilhelmine von ChĂ©zy.
