Album by Franz Schubert & The Gaudier Ensemble

Octet in F major, D.803, is an octet by Franz Schubert, composed in 1824. Scored for a mixed ensemble of winds and strings, it spans multiple movements and combines Classical forms and clear textures with an expansive early Romantic harmonic language, representing one of Schubert's large-scale chamber works from his mature period and illustrating a bridge between Classical and Romantic chamber traditions.
