Album by Franz Schubert & Alban Berg Quartett & Heinrich Schiff

String Quintet in C major, D. 956 is a string quintet by Franz Schubert, composed in 1828. The work is scored for two violins, viola and two cellos and is characterised by expansive forms, rich harmonic language and a blend of lyrical melody with dense lower-register textures, placing it among Schubert's final chamber works and representative of his late compositional style.
