Schubert: Quartet in D minor for Strings, D. 810, “Death and the Maiden” (1824)
Schubert, ill and with death on his mind at the age of 28, wrote both the darkly-tinged A minor and the famous “Death and the Maiden” quartets. Season composer Brett Dean joins the Orion String Quartet for his Epitaphs, beautifully realized meditations on the passing of friends and colleagues.
