An Evening with Late Schubert

"Written in the last months of the composer's life, these two abysmal works bear witness to Schubert's closeness to death but also to his incredible compositional perfection - and to experience the quintet after the stirring song cycle is one of the most moving moments I can imagine."" -- Tanja Tetzlaff
