Description:

A groundbreaking interpretive performance that reveals the true charm matched with a gale-like intensity! This is the third album by Quartet Arod. The performance, imagined by their "youth" and Schubert's anticipation of death, exceeds expectations. The first chords of "Death and the Maiden" are in perfect harmony, like a perfectly tuned organ reed pipe, from the edgy incision to the perfectly tuned organ. The contrast between this and the very weak and soft maiden's ultra-weak melody that appears next is an expression I have never heard before. Some say that this work is an expression of Schubert's own view of life and death, but unlike other Schubert works, it is characterized by a tight and dramatic structure. The speed of the fourth movement is unparalleled! The contrasts, exquisite rests, and contrasts of strength and weakness are as wide as those of a large orchestra. The true charm of this piece is its intellectuality and subtlety, matched by its gale-like intensity, and it is meticulously rendered.(1/2) Warner Music Japan
