String Quintet & Quartettsatz
Following their much-lauded Beethoven cycle, the members of the Tokyo String Quartet are joined by cellist David Watkin in a distinguished reading of Schubert s Quintet in C Major. One of Schubert's great masterpieces, the quintet is he last and perhaps the most haunting of all his chamber works, in which light and shadow, serenity and drama are presented in constant alternation. The disc also includes the Quartettsatz of 1820 with its lovely, fragmentary slow movement.
