Schwetzingen Festival (4/4)

The Modigliani Quartet perform Schubert's sublime Octet for winds and strings, recorded at the 2020 Schwetzingen Festival.

Schubert's sublime Octet for winds and strings, in a performance recorded at last year's Schwetzingen Festival in Southern Germany.

Dating from 1824 and of near epic proportions, the Octet is nevertheless a delightful treasure. Written for an unusual combination of instruments, it has delighted audiences for almost 200 years.
