Schubert’s only string quintet, written for the rare instrumentation of two cellos, was composed just a few months before his death, in September 1828. It is considered one of the most famous chamber music works of all time and brings together — in a manner unique even for Schubert — all the qualities of mature instrumental music: symphonic form, otherworldly beauty of sound, and dramatic contrasts.
