Quintette à deux violoncelles

Album by Franz Schubert & Anne Gastinel & Quatuor Diotima

Quintette à deux violoncelles (Quintet in C major, D.956) is a chamber music quintet by Franz Schubert, completed in 1828. Scored for piano, violin, viola and two cellos, it features expansive lyrical themes, rich harmonic textures and wide dynamic contrasts, and is one of Schubert's final compositions that demonstrates his late-career expansion of formal scale and expressive range.
