Schubert, Franz - String Quintet/String Trio - Raphael Ensemble (The)

---

---

‘Superlatives become ephemeral and critical criteria moulder into hollow pedantry when applied to an issue of this stature. The Raphel Ensemble’s account of Schubert’s String Quintet joins a small but illustrious pantheon of truly exceptional recordings of this masterwork … a triumph for Hyperion and the Raphaels’
