Late String Quartets (Nos. 12-15)

Franz Schubert

String Quartet

Lindsay Quartet

1980s Very well recorded.

Gil's top choice, especially for the 'Death and the Maiden.' They 'just bring home that drama and that commitment.'

Quartetto Italiano

1960s Sumptuously recorded.

A very famous version. Really dramatic playing, and really beautiful as well. A standard for this repertoire.

Busch Quartet

1930s Historic recording of Nos. 14 & 15.

A classic. Not as 'hitting you on the head' dramatic, but about the developing interpretive insights and power that really engage you. One of the more famous chamber recordings ever made.
