Prom 7: Schubert's String Quintet
The Belcea Quartet and cellist Valentin Erben perform Schubert's chamber music masterpiece, his Quintet in C, D956 at the 2011 大象传媒 Proms.
大象传媒 PROMS 2011
Recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, London last year
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
Another chance to hear one of the greatest pieces of chamber music in this Late Night Prom concert from last year. A leading quartet of our time is joined by the distinguished cellist and founder member of the Berg Quartet, Valentin Erben. Barely thirty years old, but already near death, Schubert had his String Quintet rejected by his publisher and only performed and published many years after his death. But its exploratory outer movements and the sublimely transcendent slow movement, continue to inspire musicians, poets, film makers and audiences to this day.
