Quintets

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Orlando String Quartet & Nobuko Imai & Vertavo String Quartet & Martin Fröst & Philharmonisches Bläserquintett Berlin & Stephen Hough & Ensemble Villa Musica

Quintets is a set of string quintets by Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed between 1787 and 1791. These chamber works expand the classical chamber repertoire by adding a second viola to the standard string quartet, producing richer middle textures, increased contrapuntal detail and a more mature expressive range that marks an important phase in Mozart's late chamber writing.
