Rob Cowan presents Schubert's Quintet in C and a Telemann cantata: TWV I 884, plus incomplete works by Bach, Bruckner and late pieces by Strauss and Liszt.

This week's selection by Rob Cowan begins a short season of string quintets, with Schubert's Quintet in C, and continues the Telemann cantata cycle with Ich will den Kreuzweg gerne gehen (TWV 1:884).

Rob also presents a selection of works by composers written towards the end of their lives which might be thought of as their last musical words. These include unfinished pieces by J S Bach and Anton Bruckner, and other late pieces by Richard Strauss and Franz Liszt.
