About This Song
About "Schubert: String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor, D. 810 "Death and the Maiden": I. Allegro" by Alban Berg Quartett
The opening Allegro stalks like a shadow across a moonlit field, urgent and inexorable. Schubert's dread is rendered with razor-sharp precision by the Alban Berg Quartett, whose taut phrasing turns the 'Death and the Maiden' theme into a coiled spring—calm surface over a chasm of unease.
