String Quintet
Album by Franz Schubert & Petersen Quartett & Michael Sanderling
The String Quintet in C major, D.956 is a string quintet by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1828. Scored for two violins, viola and two cellos, it features expansive, lyrical melodies, rich harmonic textures and intricate contrapuntal interplay, and it stands as a key late chamber work that exemplifies Schubert's late stylistic developments in harmony and form.
First released: 1997
