Amazon.com It would be difficult to imagine a finer account of this extraordinary work than that of the Melos Quartet and their distinguished guest. The flow of the music is magnificently sustained, its color and inner life marvelously felt. There is a spontaneity to the playing that perfectly complements the profound whimsicality of Schubert's journeys to remote tonal regions, along with a sensitivity ideally suited to the meditative quality of the composer's lyricism. The recording is warm and spacious, richly nuanced, and admirably balanced. --Ted Libbey Similar CDs

CD ReviewsSchubert from Melos, Rostropovich, Shines Brightly Thomas B Dawkins | 03/05/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "The edition of this recording in my possession is from the European set "Schubert Meisterwerke" which was availbale for a short time in the US. This particular recording is among the most soulful of the Schubert C Major Quintet. Most notable is probably the second movement, Adagio, with potent first violin and first 'cello lines that sing over the mezza voce accompaniment. Rostropovich is rather well known for taking this movement slower than comfortable for many players, but I think this adds a great deal to the recording as the movement is beautiful but restless at points. The Melos will not let you merely settle passively into this movement, but will pull and push you along with it. The Scherzo is an amazing contrast in that it is practically all push -- pushing ahead that is -- until the more lyrical trio. This work is difficult to navigate, with numerous voice changes, parallels and tempi that refuse to quite settle, but it is difficult to find a better recording than this." Incredible i_love_to_smile | Texas | 08/03/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am a cellist and had to play this for a summer camp. I ended up with four different quartets versions of this piece. We all know how differently the same piece can sound right? This version by the Melos quartett was my favorite. Their interpretation of Schubert's music was beautiful. The nuances they created and their phrasing enhanced what was written by Schubert. You will not be disappointed with this CD." Highly Recommend Chad Rosin | Madison, WI United States | 02/07/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I love this piece. Although I haven't heard many recordings of it, I can guarantee that this must be among the best. I fell in love with it as soon as I heard it. The playing is wonderful. The group is very tight and dramatic in all the right spots. I would highly recommend this cd. It is a little pricey, so it may be worth looking around for other copies, but if you don't mind paying the $24.00 I assure you that you won't be disappointed."
