About "Schubert: String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor, D. 810 "Death and the Maiden": IV. Presto" by Artemis Quartet

Schubert's 'Death and the Maiden' finale is a tarantella at the edge of the grave. Artemis Quartet drives the Presto with relentless, breathless momentum, a skeletal dance that never quite shakes its shadow. The fury is exhilarating, but the chill lingers—terror disguised as folk rhythm.
