Schubert: String Quintet in C major, D956

A person is contemplating the meaninglessness of his existence. The despair over this and many other experiences results in a piece for five strings. Musicians love no other world-famous piece quite as dearly as Franz Schubert’s C major String Quintet, D956. This recording, featuring the Auryn Quartet and Christian Polte´ra, received numerous prizes including the quarterly list of the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik (prize of German record reviewers). It was first published on CD, LP and DVD-Audio and now also on Blu-ray Disc.
