F Schubert / Amsterdam Sinfonietta Soloists- String Quintet (Hybr) (Dsd) (Ms)
One of the icons of chamber music, Schubert's celebrated String Quintet is heard in an unusual version on this recording. Schubert's work was styled after those of Boccherini and Onslow, which featured two violins, viola and two cellos. After hearing the double bass virtuoso Domenico Dragonetti, Onslow decided to add an alternative bass part to replace the second cello part. Schubert might have done the same if he had heard Dragonetti play, so the Amsterdam Sinfonietta commissioned this Marijn van Prooijen adaptation, and the double bass part is performed here by Rick Stotijn.
Tracklist:
- String Quintet In C Major, D 956 - Op. 163 Posth: I. Allegro Ma Non Troppo (Version With Double Bass)
- String Quintet In C Major, D 956 - Op. 163 Posth II. Adagio (Version With Double Bass)
- String Quintet In C Major, D 956 - Op. 163 Posth: III. Scherzo - Presto - Trio, - Andante Sostenuto (Version With Double Bass)
- String Quintet In C Major, D 956 - Op. 163 Posth: IV. Finale - Allegretto (Version With Double Bass)
