Following their much-lauded Beethoven cycle, the members of the Tokyo String Quartet are joined by cellist David Watkin in this distinguished reading of Schubert’s Quintet in C major – 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 programme also includes the Quartettsatz of 1820 with its fragmentary slow movement.
‘There was a real sense of occasion throughout this performance, the players communicating closely and bringing through the piece’s range of emotions, whether brief outbursts of joy or inner moments of doubt.’ – Classical Source (concert review)

Le Quintette en Ut majeur est la dernière œuvre de musique de chambre de Schubert, et sans doute aucun la plus marquante – ombre et lumière, sérénité et inquiétude y alternent constamment. Pour livrer au disque ce chef-d’œuvre absolu, les solistes du Tokyo String Quartet ont fait appel à un violoncelliste d’exception !

Nach ihrem vielgepriesenen Beethoven-Zyklus haben die Mitglieder des Tokyo String Quartet nun den Cellisten David Watkin für ihre außergewöhnliche Lesart von Schuberts Streichquintett in C-Dur eingeladen – das letzte und vielleicht eindringlichste aller seiner Kammermusikwerke, in dem sich Licht und Schatten, Heiterkeit und Angst beständig gegenüberstehen. Das Programm umfasst auch den Quartettsatz von 1820 mit seinem fragmentarischen langsamen Teil.
