Artist:
Franz Schubert
Title:
String Quintets / Overture

Info: Composed shortly before his death the ineffably beautiful String Quintet in C Major D. 956 was Schubert's last chamber music composition. It is rightfully regarded not only as one of the composer's most important works but as one of the major works in the whole chamber music repertoire. Thomas Mann said of the String Quintet that it is the music one would like to hear on one's deathbed; it is indeed difficult to listen to it without feeling that Schubert must have had some premonition of the approaching end. It is the final And definitive expression of Schubert's poetic vision of that Romantic longing for the world beyond whether in the dark lyricism of the first movement the vigor of the Scherzo the poetic Adagio Or the confident good humor of the closing movement.
