presentation of the album
Situated between the symphony and chamber music, Schubert’s Octet for strings and winds bears witness to a new creative force during a dark chapter of the composer’s life, haunted by illness. Powerfully imaginative, interweaving joy and apprehension, the work pavs homage to Beethoven’s septet while revealing a poetic and lyrical language in which the dawn of Romanticism emerges. A remarkably unique masterpiece in which some of the finest artists are brought together.
