Mitsuko Uchida joins players from the BRSO to perform Beethoven's youthful Quintet, written for piano, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn. The programme is completed with Schubert's Octet, one of the 19th century's greatest chamber works.
The piano takes a leading role in the Quintet, introducing the melody in each of the three movements and performing a brilliant, virtuosic part.
Despite the scale of its instrumental forces, Schubert's Octet - scored for clarinet, bassoon, horn, two violins, viola, cello and double bass - is a work profoundly symphonic in scope. The many moods, including flashes of drama and melancholy, are boldly contrasted over the six movements.
