Tonight Schubert's monumental and heavenly String Quintet.

In the late summer of 1828, just two months before his much too early death, Schubert completed one of his most beautiful works: the String Quintet. It is music of a passionate intensity, a romantic sadness but fortunately also a spontaneous cheerfulness. A very personal composition that looks back on his life and the creative and spiritual high point of Schubert's oeuvre. Music that absolutely pierces through marrow and bone.
