Tokyo String Quartet and David Watkin - Schubert: String Quintet D.956, Quartettsatz D.703 (2011) [Hi-Res]


Following their much-lauded Beethoven cycle, the members of the Tokyo String Quartet are joined by cellist David Watkin in this distinguished reading of Schubert's Quintet in C major – the 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 programme also includes the Quartettsatz of 1820 with its fragmentary slow movement.

“Almost all the players who perform here seem stirred enough by the music's pathos and power to rise to the occasion...[to give] an intense, sweeping account of the work. I have no complaints, and for anyone who doesn't want the final degree of penetrating lyricism and anguish which you find in the very finest readings...this may prove an ideal version.” (BBC Music Magazine)

“The Tokyo String Quartet with David Watkin promise much as they traverse the slow harmonic progression that opens the first movement...They finish as impressively as they begin; but the middle movements arouse reservations...A degree of objectivity throughout weakens the reach to Elysium...The Tokyo stand back, refusing the minatory experience.” (Gramophone Magazine)
