"Without a shadow of a doubt one of the best string quartets nowadays...". The international media are unanimously full of praise for this string quartet consisting of three brothers: Erik, Ken and Mark Schumann and viola player Liisa Randalu. Together with Artist in Residence Ella van Poucke they will perform one of Schubert’s best works, his string quintet in C. The work is also known as the cello quintet, because of the extra cello instead of an extra viola, as in other string quintets. Schubert finished this work two months before his untimely demise. The work has light and dark as well as energetic and gloomy tones, and it is almost orchestrally composed with a remarkable, glorious party for the second cello.
