Signum Quartett - Lebensmuth

Lebensmuth is the final episode of Signum Quartett�s acclaimed Schubert trilogy, in which early and late string quartets are combined with song arrangements created by the group�s violist Xandi van Dijk. Schubert�s First String Quartet in G Minor, written when he was 13, already reveals his inclination to bold and unexpected moves. His last String Quartet in G major, D. 887 veers between a profound examination of personal trauma and a blazing triumph over adversity, and it is this resilience of spirit which is further highlighted by songs such as �An die Musik� and �Lebensmuth�, pieces that courageously embrace life and all the beauty it offers. The Signum Quartett is frequently hailed as one of the most adventurous and outstanding ensembles of today. The quartet�s first Pentatone recording Aus der Ferne (2018) won an Opus Klassik 2019 award, as well as a diapason d�or, and was followed by Ins stille Land (2020).
