Absolutely beautiful -- they are all completely immersed in the piece and each other. They are so attentive to every note and section. An excellent, well-filmed recording. Of the 'Octet' performances I've listened to, this is superb. Their engagement is captivating and infectious.

[@paulsomers6048]

What a performance! The best I've ever heard, and I was a professional music reviewer for 20 years. The wide dynamic range of this group was so effective. Because their PP was so soft, their FF was never blaring and over done. Perfecto!!

Schubert is a composer that I visit rarely, but whenever I listen to his music I feel amazed. Such a great Genius. Unfortunately he left us at 32, what a pitty... Great perfomance. I love how the clarinet mingles with the wooden instrument.

[@stonefireice6058]

You mean Bassoon?

[@danielscheinhaus5210]

It's interesting to hear the strong cello, as typically played by Sol Gabetta, reinforced by the double-bass playing an octave lower as played by Robert Vizvari. The result is very nice. In total by all these fine players, a great rendition of Schubert's beautiful piece.

[@jimp4170]

Schubert is the master at bringing the sensation of "sehnsucht" to music - that almost imperceptible tinge of sadness or nostalgia just below the surface. So Viennese.

[@marklapolla2638]

Blood and whipped cream. :-) Wien is one of my favorite cities.

For all the clarinet fans out there, Meyer is actually playing a C clarinet in the variation (4th) movement. Very rare. Usually the movement is played on the B flat clarinet, as are all C clarinet parts, and transposed up a whole step.
