Schubert - String Quintet in C / Alban Berg Quartet · Schiff - 3632

Amazon.com This is an impressive reading of the quintet, notable for its energy and lyrical beauty, and cellist Heinrich Schiff certainly throws the considerable weight of his tone behind the fine, blended sound of the Alban Berg Quartet. The original 1982 recording was first-rate, and EMI's engineers have done a superb job of capturing its ambience and warm tone on this remastering in the Great Recordings of the Century series. The only drawback is that the players omit the exposition repeat in the quintet's first movement, depriving it of the "heavenly length" it should have. --Ted Libbey
