“Death and the Maiden,” recital by OCCO - Cascais and Oeiras Chamber Orchestra
One of the most emblematic works for chamber music was written by Franz Schubert at a very difficult time in the Austrian composer's life. This fact explains the character of the work and the choice of its title. The quartet is named after the lied Death and the Maiden, D.531, which Schubert wrote in 1817. The theme of the song is an adaptation of a poem of the same name by Matthias Claudius. The theme of the lied is used in the second movement of the quartet. The recital completes the work of Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, in the year in which we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Italian composer's birth.
