Schubert: String Quartets No 13-15 / Artemis Quartet. Composer: Franz Schubert, Orchestra/Ensemble: Artemis String Quartet. The Artemis Quartet is one of an elite group of string quartets on the world stage today. After having been awarded with Germany's prestigious Klassik ECHO award and France s Grand Prix de I Academie Charles Cros in 2011 for their Virgin Classics Beethoven cycle, the members of Artemis Quartet now release an all-Schubert CD. It presents the composer s final three string quartets: No. 13 in A minor, Rosamude; No. 14 in D minor, Death and the Maiden and No. 15 in G major. This new Schubert album joints the Artemis Quartet s 2008 release of the composer s String Quintet (for which cellist Truls Mork complemented the ensemble) and Quartettsatz in C minor.
