Acclaimed Swedish ensemble the Yggdrasil Quartet presents two of Schubert's powerful string quartets, including the dramatic String Quartet No. 14 "Death and the Maiden", a landmark work of chamber music, composed while Schubert was sick and facing his own mortality.
"Only the excellence of such a work as Schubert's (String Quartet No. 14) ... can in any way console us for the early and grievous death of this first born of Beethoven; in a few years he achieved and perfected things as no one before him."
- Robert Schumann
