Schubert: String Quintet D 956

"Probably the best all-round version" - BBC Radio3

Schubert's most heart-rending chamber work in a performance fully worthy of it: the great cellist Mstislav Rostropovich is joined by the Melos Quartett of Stuttgart at its peak. "No doubt [Rostropovich's] influence from the centre of the string texture contributes to the eloquence of the famous Adagio, which, like the performance as a whole, is strongly, even dramatically, characterized." - Penguin Guide
