Programme Note
Written just two months before the composer’s death, Schubert’s String Quintet is widely regarded by many as his finest chamber work and one of the most important of the repertoire. It has been described as ‘sublime’ and having ‘bottomless pathos’. The Adagio second movement is tranquilly sublime, and is so treasured that it has become one of the most requested pieces on Desert Island Discs.
Tea and home made cakes served at 4pm.
