Schubert: String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor

Here, thanks to the Talich, the Czech soul finds the most idiomatic and euphoric expression imaginable: overflowing generosity, boundless tenderness, radiant rusticity, zestful freshness. The Talich Quartet, anointed by its creator, shows all through this CD, twenty-eight years after its Paris debut, that it maintains a standard of playing and level of inspiration wholly worthy of the previous generation.
