Hagen at their best...
There are so many recordings of this quintet it boggles the mind.
How do you choose?
Over the years, I must have purchased 10 or more CDs looking for that "perfect fit" for my personal taste.
Spent a lot of dollars and found out it's true-"you get what you pay for".
First.. You will find you ...

String Quintet
Franz Schubert, Mstislav Rostropovich, ...
Deutsche Grammophon, 2007
Elegant and spontaneous playing, but too low-key
Despite the addition of Mstislav Rostropovich to the lineup of the Melos Qt., this much admired recording of Schubert's Quintet in C strikes me as distinclty low key. The Melos Qt. favored a light tone, more elegant than intense. They phrase naturally and have modest only ambitions so far as impact ...

Schoenberg: Verklärte Nacht; Schubert: Quintet
Eleanor Aller, Kurt Reher, ...
Testament UK, 1994
One of the two best recordings of Schubert's greatest opus
+ A Revelation
+ Vigorous Schubert
George Steiner is said to have called the Schubert quintet proof of the existence of God. While I'm not sure I would go that far, it is certainly one of the greatest pieces of chamber music ever written. In judging recordings, I strongly favor interpretation over sound. Thus the two ...

Schubert: String Quintet, D956, & Quartet, D87
Franz Schubert, Vogler Quartet, ...
Profil - G Haenssler, 2006
Don't miss this one!
+ Joins the Best Schubert Quintet Recordings
My touchstone for Schubert's sublime string quintet has always been the performance with Stern, Casals and co., currently available on Sony, coupled with a poor performance of the Fifth Symphony (enlivened only by an amusing false entrance of the strings in the first movement). I don't know if ...

Schubert: Quintet, Op.163, C Major
Franz Schubert, Atar Arad, ...
Sony, 1990
Magnificent!
+ Passionate peformance
Cleveland Quartet's interpretation of Quintet 956 is one of the finest pieces I ever heard. The interpretation is passionate yet proportionated, flawless. This is not a group of soloists trying to play chamber music, but the product of one single soul with five magnificent pairs of hands.

Schubert String Quintet in C, D. 956

Asv Living Era, 1992
What Is More Important?
+ Depth without sentiment
The Lindsays are by no means the most technically brilliant string quartet around. Yet, they put a breath into the music they play which brings it stunningly to life. This recording of the Schubert other "Great C Major" is one of the most musically satisfying around. While other groups (i.e. ...

EMI Classics, 2004
Excellent performances, great bargain
+ listening pleasure
+ From adolescence to the valley of shadows!
Some of the EMI budget twofers are not great choices even at the price, but some are and this one certainly is. These are really superb performances of the last three Schubert string quartets and the great C major string quintet. As you might expect, it's because the first movement repeats are not ...

Alternative Amadeus...
This 1986 recording of Schubert's great Quintet was realized near the end of the Amadeus Quartet's long career.
It is a perfumed performance in perfect balance of expansiveness and concision, and some auditors may indeed prefer it to the Amadeus' 1965 reading.
Aficionados will hardly need ...
