About
Schubert's String Trio was modelled after the example of Beethoven, and its transparent textures, Classical structure and fine interplay are capped by a charming Rondo finale. Composed over a decade later, during the period of his final illness, the String Quintet is wholly different in character. Scored for two violins, viola and two cellos, it is one of the most compelling and moving works in the chamber music canon, and stands as the summation of Schuberts writing for chamber forces.

Schubert had a couple of goes before finding his feet in D581 from 1817...The Aviv Quartet (minus second violinist Philippe Villafranca) give a well-observed and considered reading, making just about the best possible case for this often ignored work. The same observance of the subtleties of the score carries over into the Quintet..Everything is in the right place, intonation is by and large spot-on and no marking passes by without having some effect on what we hear.

perhaps its most striking quality – apart from the sheer beauty of the playing and the recording’s beguilingly natural balancing – is its glowing subtlety... Again, it is the sophistication of the Avivs phrasing and penchant for communicating a sense of affectionate poise and ease that proves so delightfully engaging.
