Schubert Octet in F, D803

The Academy of St Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble was created in 1967 to perform the larger chamber works - from quintets to octets - with players who customarily work together, instead of the usual string quartet with additional guests. Drawn from the principal players of the ASMF, the Chamber Ensemble tours as a string octet, string sextet, and in other configurations including winds. Their programme features Schubert's Octet, one of the staples of the chamber repertoire, along with less familiar pieces.
