In the first of our concerts recorded last season as part of the series given by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in New York, there's a chance to hear Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Escher Quartet on home territory. Their concert includes two quartets by Schubert from towards the end of his short life.
The 'Quartettsatz' is a single movement, surely intended to be part of something longer but now well-established in the repertoire as a work in its own right. The Eschers follow this with Schubert's extraordinary final quartet, a score which is one of his most forward-looking and whose constant struggle between major and minor only resolves itself at the very last minute.

Schubert: Quartettsatz in C Minor D703
Schubert: String Quartet in G Major D887.
