About This Song
About "Schubert: String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor, D. 810 "Death and the Maiden": II. Andante con moto" by Alban Berg Quartett
A skeletal motif stalks this Andante, Schubert's death-haunted theme unfolding with glacial grace. The Alban Berg Quartett finds tremulous calm beneath the surface, a lullaby sung to a vanishing breath. Unease seeps through each sustained chord, beauty and dread locked in a slow, inexorable dance.
