The Quatuor Mosaïques and their recording of Schubert’s ‘The Death and the Maiden’ receive ffff by the French magazine Telerama

Next month this stunning version of Schubert’s famous ‘The Death and the Maiden’ string quartet performed on period instruments will be released in the UK. This will be a great opportunity to discover one of the leading string quartets of our time, the Quatuor Mosaïques.


Already in France this pillar of the chamber music repertoire received a fantastic review by the influential French cultural magazine Telerama. The recording was rewarded with a ‘ffff’, equivalent to a four-star ranking.

This recording features the String Quartet No.14 in D Minor otherwise known as ‘The Death and the Maiden’ but also the D173 in G minor quartet which is an earlier quartet of the master of the genre, Franz Schubert.
