Quintet for two cellos
Suspended time
With Emmanuelle Bertrand, cello
New album / Release February 2026 (harmonia mundi)
Genius and tenderness are intertwined in this last work of chamber music composed by Schubert in the late summer of 1828, two months before his death. In his last creative period, a tremendous outpouring of energy and imagination led Schubert to deliver this quintet of exceptional scope but also of unequalled daring and mystery, which reaches heights of musicality and ranks among his truly immortal works, alongside his Winter Journey, his Mass in E flat major, his last three Piano Sonatas and his Swan Song.
