The Takács Quartet's recording of Schubert's Death and the Maiden
ranks among the definitive recordings of that enduring work, praised
for "immaculate playing and sublime beauty" (The Independent, London).
The quartet complements Schubert's haunting lyricism with Haydn's bold
and brilliant Quartet No. 54 from Op. 71, and Shostakovich's restless
Quartet No. 3, composed during the turmoil of World War II at the
height of the composer's confrontations with the Stalinist regime.
