Octuor en Fa majeur D 803

Description

How one of the essential works of chamber music comes to life and breathes, especially as it experiences a musical renaissance during a considerable number of concerts, is something one can marvel at on this Genuin CD: winners of the Deutscher Musikwettbewerb perform Schubert's great Octet from 1827, and the young musicians, including Echo-Klassik winners (Amaryllis Quartet and the solo horn player from the Bamberger, Christoph Eß), play at the highest level. Every phrase is thoughtfully crafted and felt, the joyful passages vibrate and dance, while the moments filled with despair send shivers down the spine. This chamber music is almost a small symphony, larger than life!
