Schubert: Quartet in G, D.887; Quartettsatz, D.703
Wihan Quartet
Nimbus Alliance NI6221
This refined Czech ensemble gives a finely-nuanced, warmly expressive reading of Schubert's final masterpiece in the genre. If their earlier disc, the traditional coupling of the Rosamunde and Death and the Maiden quartets may have been a touch too restrained for some listeners, here there is no want of fire or volatility. With demonstration quality sound, and a welcome coupling, this performance deserves to be heard.
