Verbier Festival (4/4) - Schubert's String Quintet

Verbier Festival: Janine Jansen, Steven Isserlis and friends perform Schubert's String Quintet. Completed a few weeks before his death, it's a work of bottomless pathos.

Violinist Janine Jansen, cellist Steven Isserlis and friends perform Schubert's String Quintet in Verbier's intimate church. Completed a few weeks before his death, it's been described as 'a work of sublime, bottomless pathos'. And to end this week's series of programmes from the 2023 Verbier Festival, there's another movement from Bach's Partita no. 6 played by Alexandra Dovgan, just a few days after her sixteenth birthday.

Introduced by Sarah Walker.
