The last three string quartets by Schubert were written near his death, as were the C major string quintet and the last piano sonatas, especially D960. These works are death songs, in fact Schubert's Schwanengesang. The somber adagio of quartet 14 amounts to a funeral march. The first movement of quartet 13 is painful and sad despite its beauty. These quartets are masterworks that possess as much weight as Beethoven's las 5 quartets, artworks that can be classified as metaphysical. Schubert's are more melodious, more romantic, to some extent sweeter. Beethoven's are perhaps harsher, stronger, less emotional, however beauteous and musically profound. But both series share a comparable place in musical Olympus, works that define humanity and its limits. The Diogenes string quartet offers a respectful, somber, beautiful version of these masterworks. Thanks Brilliant Classics for uploading.
Schubert didn't expect to die so early as, for example, shortly before his death he arranged private lessons for himself with a renowned musician. Which shows he was still eager to learn and perfect himself - an attitude that many less talented people might take as an example. But in any case, one must consider all the facts before making too bold an assumption, even if emotionally there is a melancholy in the music that might suggest such conclusions.
Why on earth don't you get satisfied with saying "Great music" or "My favourite" or whatever, but you somehow HAVE to write "these will never be surpassed", thereby stating that all other music is actually worse than them. Why isn't it enough to say something is beautiful without saying other things are not? It's not love of art, it's just poorly masked violence.
@@tadeuszmrownik-dzikowski5335 I try to avoid hyperbolic statements, but it's human nature to rank things. It helps to give a sense of order to the world. I think it's a bit harsh to call it 'poorly masked violence'.
I have enjoyed the Andante from the D minor Quartet since I was quite young. This was a serene interpretation. The whole experience here was most rewarding. Thanks to all concerned. This String Quartet is a solid entity- very well integrated.
Absolutely! 60 yrs ago, I just had founded the first „Beat Band“ in our school and had not much interest for „classical music“, much to the despair of my father. But when we were „confronted“ with this piece in school, I immediately was deeply gripped by it and Schubert was my first discovery of the classical universe. Then I dared to lend an ear to Beethoven and many more musical giants over the years. Schubert helped me grew in many musical dimensions quite early. And to my surprise, I had found the records of Bill Haley in the stack of 45ers in our living room :-)
Weltschmerz Weltschmerz is a term coined by the German author Jean Paul. In its original meaning in the Deutsches Wörterbuch by Brothers Grimm, it denotes a deep sadness about the inadequacy or imperfection of the world. The translation can differ depending on context, in reference to the self it can mean "world weariness", in reference to the world it can mean "the pain of the world".
Que seria el mundo sin la música. en este momento Schubert que cerca estaba de Beethoven!!! y que cerca del cielo nos deja el poderlos escuchar estas obras. desde Argentina Gracias
Nice to see so many 'views' of this. Superb performances of music that sounds like it was drawn right out of the cosmos, full of mystery and the feeling that every note is absolutely right, inevitable and magical.
The videos of verdant pastures and bucolic bounty that accompany Schubert's scores and music remind me of the apogee to the movie "Logan's Run." Any other 1970's children out there?
Hello, I would like you to upload for me Schubert: The Last Three Piano Sonatas, which I am listening in the computer, but which I cannot find in my Mobile. Thank you so much. Are you also with Spotify? Please let me know. Goodnight.Teresa.
The painting is Ophelia and it was painted by Millais. The model was the daughter of a friend and she had to pose for him in a tube of water and as the water grew colder she caught a horrible cold that almost killed her and there was a fight between friends for this careless act. True story.

So is this an established group playing or bc it doesn't say is it common to assume the group was only assigned to this one performance? Or is this assembled by a program and not actually performed by musicians?
@@ChristovanRensburg it is a painting of the suicide of Ophelia from the Shakespeare play Hamlet. The painting is by John Everett Millais who was Pre-Raphaelite.
I. like the scenery too. It must be Austria, right? What a country. They gave us both Schubert and Franz Klammer. Oh, and then there was that one fellow...oops.
