Schubert String Quintet in C major
Mozart Divertimento K136 ‘Salzburg Symphony #1’
Aeolian Quartet
Bruno Schrecker
“a virile performance of what is arguably Schubert’s greatest chamber work. Their style is direct with no mannerisms whatsoever … depth of concentration that the players convey in every bar… Finale is fresh and rustic-sounding … In the slow movement (they) adopt the slowest possible adagio.. the inner tension (of which) holds one breathless through hushed pianissimos of the most intense beauty … This is a clear first bargain choice, and there are few premium-priced discs which approach let alone match its intensity” (Penguin Guide, 3 stars)
