String Quartets D112 & 887
Takács Quartet
CDA68423
The ‘heavenly lengths’ Schumann loved in late Schubert are as much in evidence in the sublime G major quartet as in the other large-scale works of Schubert’s final years. The Takács Quartet’s earlier Hyperion recordings of Schubert were hailed as ‘near ideal’ and ‘superlative’ and this new release is every bit as fine.
