Franz Schubert
String Quartet No. 15 in G major, D 887

Streichquintett C-Dur D 956

 

Schubert’s chamber music is a cosmos in itself. With its beguiling, lyrical melodies and expressive harmonic language, it plumbs the depths of human emotions and existence: joy and sorrow, love and loss, closeness and loneliness. For our Schubert Marathon, members of the Berlin Philharmonic will immerse you in these musical landscapes of the soul: ranging from Schubert’s early string trios to the late String Quintet in C major, including works like the sparkling “Trout” Quintet and the dark-toned “Death and the Maiden” Quartet.
