Schubert: Arpeggione Sonata; Schumann: Fantasiestücke
Maria Kliegel, Robert Schumann, ...
Naxos, 1994
Glorious Romantic Cello
Maria Kliegel is a superb musician, and her albums of mid-romantic cello sonatas, especially in collaboration with Kristen Merschner, are wonderful for their color and expressiveness as well as their precision and sheer beauty of tone. This album is no exception. The cellist and pianist join in ...

Schubert, Spohr: Octets / Wiener Octet

Decca, 2000
OLD FAVOURITE, NEW NONENTITY
+ Schubert's Hospitality
This recording of Schubert's octet was made in 1958, that of Spohr's in 1959. I bought the LP of the Schubert as soon as I first saw it reviewed, and I own it to this day. It was a favourite of mine from the first time of putting it on the turntable, and it is a favourite still, which is not ...

Schubert: String Quartets D87 & D804 'Rosamunde' /Quatuor Mosaiques
Franz Schubert, Anita Mitterer, ...
Astree, 1996
Here is the salt - and now the review
+ Passionate chamber music from Schubert and Quartuor Mosaiques
Revised review -
The Mosaiques usual great performance and great sound.
Have the Mosaiques ever released a bad album? Not that I have seen so far. Always among the best if not the best.

Great Chamber music from Vienna
Here are two classic accounts from the 1950s and 1960s of chamber works by Franz Schubert. Members of Willi Boskovsky's original Vienna Octet are partnered by the great English pianist, Clifford Curzon, in the famous 1958 "Trout" Quintet recording, a stereo remake of their earlier version with ...

Schubert: "Trout" Quintet, Death and the Maiden, etc.
Franz [Vienna] Schubert
Dg Imports, 2002
Levine is a fine Schubert pianist, and the performance is first choice in the budget range
DG is offering at nearly super-budget price their 1994 recording of the evergreen "Trout" Quintet with James Levine and first-desk players from the Vienna Phil. Given the source, it's no surprise that this is a warm, congenial performance, caught in excellent, close-up sound. Tempos are moderate; ...

Schubert: String Quintet D 956, String Trio
Raphael Ensemble
Hyperion UK, 1995
Deeply sensitive and marvelously expressed Schubert.
Schubert's C Major Quintet is doubtless one of the truly great masterpieces of the chamber music literature. However, I personally feel that to uphold this status, groups executing it must absolutely be attuned to its deeply expressive musical attributes. Some who have recorded the work have ...

Schubert's lyrical genius
+ OUTSTANDING!
This beautiful album showcases the lyrical genius of Franz Schubert. I have listened to classical music for years, but up until I purchased this album I had never given Schubert a fair hearing. But now, having heard his music, and become thorougly overwhelmed by his genius, I can only stand in awe ...

Schubert: Sonata for Arpeggione; Schumann: Fantasiestücke, Op. 73

Philips Classics, 1985
Charming And Enchanting!
+ À savourer
In 1823 Johann Georg Stauffer invented the arpeggione, a freak instrument, a hybrid of 'cello and guitar, with strings tuned in fourths. Schubert invested such attractive melodies in this queer contraption, he must have believed in its future. The melodies that float throughout the "Sonata for ...
