The Takács Quartet turn to perhaps the most hauntingly beautiful of all Schubert's chamber works, the String Quintet - completed six weeks before the composer's death. Schubert included a second cello in the texture, creating a sumptuously warm sound, a cradling intimacy. Here the Takács players are joined by cellist Ralph Kirshbaum. Also recorded here is the 'Quartettsatz': a fragment - of the highest quality - of a String Quartet in C minor abandoned by the composer.
