Schubert: Quintet in C D956, and ” Quartettsatz” D703
Schubert:
- String Quintet in C major, D956
with David Watkin (2nd cello)
- String Quartet No. 12 in C minor (fragment), D703 ‘Quartettsatz’
Performed by the Tokyo String Quartet
Cellist David Watkin, formerly of the Eroica Quartet, joins the Tokyo players in this distinguished reading of Schubert’s ‘Quintet in C’ – the last and perhaps the most haunting of all his chamber works, in which light and shadow, serenity and drama are presented in constant alternation. The program also includes the ‘Quartettsatz’ of 1820 with its fragmentary slow movement.
