A Crowning Jewel

Spotlight on the South West. Schubert's late Quintet in C, played by 12 Ensemble at the Budleigh Music Festival.

Verity Sharp introduces the second in this series of highlights from summer festivals taking place across the South West of England. There's just one work today and that's Schubert's String Quintet in C major, performed in St Peter's Church by soloists from 12 Ensemble, one of the UK's most exciting young groups, at the 2019 Budleigh Music Festival. Schubert's quintet richly deserves its place as one of the mainstays of the repertoire, much loved for its invention, rich use of sonorities and a seemingly endless supply of beautiful melodies.
