🎶Schubert: String Quintet 2nd movement🎶 - With Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, Romaine Bolinger, Timothy Ridout - Violist & Payam Taghadossi - My favourite part of this absolute masterpiece...! Schumann once wrote about Schubert using the term “himmlische Längen” (“heavenly lengths”), referring to his seemingly never-ending phrases, and this is a perfect example of that... this whole 3 minute segment seems to be one gigantic phrase and therefore has this incredible power, intensity & beauty.. | Kian So
