Schubert: Death & The Maiden - Songs

Description

The Schubertian universe in all its power... and its gentleness!After "Amadeus" and "Ludwig", the Zaïde Quartet continues its exploration of the great masters' repertoire with "Franz", an opus entirely devoted to Schubert. Faithful to their discographic approach, as original as it is bold, the four artists paint a striking portrait of the Austrian composer through one of his greatest masterpieces: Death and the Maiden. This centerpiece is framed by the transcription of two lieder - The Erlking and a sublime aria from the opera Fierrabras. A permanent duality between light and darkness, between gentleness and darkness, between life and death: the Schubertian universe is expressed here in all its existential depth, moving towards a final redemption of overwhelming beauty.
