First in a week of lunchtime concerts from Schwarzenberg in the Austrian mountains, with Schubert's String Quintet, D956, played by the Simply Quartet and cellist Harriet Krijgh.

Sarah Walker presents highlights of this year鈥檚 Schubertiade, a celebration of Schubert鈥檚 music held in the Austrian village of Schwarzenberg, famed for its traditional rustic wooden houses. The concerts took place in the Angelika Kauffmann Hall, a handsome timber-framed building overlooking idyllic mountain pastures, whose exquisite acoustics and intimate atmosphere make it an ideal venue for Schubert鈥檚 chamber music.

Today鈥檚 programme features his final chamber work: the String Quintet, D956, with its magical slow movement.
