Schubert: String Quintet in C major, D956
'An expansive and audacious performance of the quintet, achieving a huge range of expression, from miniscule, fragile pianissimos, right through to full-blooded, even aggressive fortes'.
'Sara Bitlloch’s expressive but delicate first violin line, and Alice Neary’s precise pizzicato placing underneath perfectly sandwiched the slow harmonic tempo of the inner parts, creating that contradiction of movement and stasis at the same time'.
'A captivating and moving performance of a work that should never feel just safely beautiful'.
