Classical 8 Tracks 01h 09m 44s The Schubert Connection - Grieg's String Quartet meets Schubert's "Death and the Maiden": The String Quartet in G minor by Edvard Grieg is quite unlike other string quartets. Indeed, its originality is so marked that it is easy to imagine it has no predecessor in the string quartet repertoire. However, since no quartet is written in isolation from what has gone before, it must be assumed that some work, or works, in the string quartet tradition served as a model for Grieg. It is strange that no effort has been made by musicologists or others to enquire into this. Until now, that is. By placing side by side two works that at first sight seem fairly different, this recording aims to bring into the open, for the first time, the fascinating details that link them.Franz Schubert (1797-1828) String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, D. 810
