I can get into that a bit later, but, for now, I want to tell you about my imprint version. . .

. . . of one of Schubert's most famous chamber music works:

I expect to be told soon how this is wrong on so many levels and how this early musical experience must have warped me for life! ;-)

The 15th Schubert Quartet should have been titled, "The More Interesting Maiden." - jdaniel@jps.net 18:09:05 10/31/20 (13)
I recently downloaded the Doric's Death and the Maiden. On Lp, I listened to the Juilliard's quite a bit.

Best I can say: It's "nice," and tunes are "catchy."

The 15th is so much more interesting, IMHO.
- Yes, but don't you find the last two movements..... - steve.ott@kctcs.edu 08:29:17 11/02/20 (1)
  are nowhere near as interesting as the first two? Like they belong in another quartet.
  Not so with no. 14.
  
  Recordings of 15 that I love: Italiano, Alban Berg, Prazak, Tokyo (1990s RCA),
  - Prazak! +1 - Chris from Lafayette 11:55:55 11/02/20 (0)
    And, not to answer for jdaniel, but I think the last couple of movements of the quartet are exactly what's needed at the point at which they occur. That main subject of the finale, with its peculiar use of the major and minor modes in the same theme is a real ear-worm for me and always sustains my interest. YMMV and all that.
    
    I also liked the recording by the Panocha Quartet on CD, although I no longer have the physical disc.
- IMHO, the 15th is one WEIRD piece! - And, yes, it's my favorite [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 01:55:41 11/01/20 (10)
  - RE: favorite -- +1, but the D&tM & the Op 29 are none too shabby. (nt) - goldenthal 00:01:12 11/02/20 (9)

    - And the Quintet. Speaking of, any rec's for "best" modern recordings of either? - jdaniel@jps.net 12:46:44 11/02/20 (7)
      My last 15th Quartet was Vienna Konzerhaus on Westminster in shockingly realistic mono sound, and last Quintet recording I owned was Collegium Aureum on DHM.

        Jdaniel, I am assuming you mean the C+ quintet, in which case, though I've found no "perfect" performance of this extraordinary work, I prefer the Berg + Schiff. Certain pieces, y'know, one has an idea in one's mind of how the composer intended them even if one has never heard that completely realized. But the Berg with Schiff are pretty damn good, closer than others so far, for me.

        Actually I meant the mind-boggling C Major String Quintet. I can't get into the "Trout," pleasant as it is. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 17:35:44 11/02/20 (5)

        Maybe you thought he was referring to Andras Schiff instead of Heinrich Schiff? ;-)
        
        Oh man, how many Schiffs can there be??? My bad. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 18:24:20 11/02/20 (3)

        I'd give it an A+ (though it would still be in C+). I could have said "the C quintet", but then you'd have thought it even worse.

    - Absolutely correct! [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 01:34:02 11/02/20 (0)
Same imprint. (NT) - Kal Rubinson 14:39:02 10/31/20 (1)
- And it was mono only IIRC! ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 15:32:21 10/31/20 (0)
  And I loved that Jules Maidoff cover art on many of the Artia and Parliament LP's from that era!
