“Schubert Marathon” – Part 2

Schubert’s chamber music is a world of its own. In our Schubert Marathon, Berliner Philharmoniker ensembles explore the musical landscapes of the composer’s soul. Here they present two string quartets with which Schubert wanted to “pave the way to the great symphony”. Song-like meets extreme drama and bold harmonies – especially in the quartet “Death and the Maiden”, whose turbulent mood is also shared by the “Quartettsatz”.
