Schubert's 'Death and the Maiden' Quartet is now available on Blu-Ray, DVD and HD video to download. The concert includes the early quartets in D Major D74 and B-flat Major D68 as well as the monumental 'Death and the Maiden' D810, and it's the first release of the Cuarteto Casals' five disc set of live performances of the complete quartets of Franz Schubert.
The physical edition includes a 24-page book with liner notes by William Kinderman, plus the concert in three different video formats: Blu-ray, DVD and HD Digital Video (MOV) to download with a voucher code.
Recorded with ten camera angles in HD plus surround sound at 24bit 96 kHz, the live video was produced in five extraordinary concerts in the autumn of 2013, co-produced by Neu Records and L'Auditori de Barcelona. Video direction by Igor Cortadellas.

"A quartet for the new millennium if I ever heard one." - The Strad
"And one couldn't have wished for better advocates than the Cuarteto Casals, whose warm, full-toned playing was immaculate and poetic throughout." - The Independent
