Description:

Isabelle Faust with her splendid co-stars in Schubert's Octet! The second movement of Schubert's Octet features clarinet, horn, bassoon, string quartet, and double bass. This is Schubert's largest chamber music work and has been recorded by many masters, but now Isabelle Faust has recorded it on period instruments with a splendid ensemble of collaborators! Schubert's Octet is said to contain the joy of living in music. The work is like a series of moving melodies and moments of wonderment at Schubert's mastery of the instruments. The highlight of the piece is the second movement, which is a work of immense beauty. The passage of the melody between the players is a reminder of the beauty of Schubert's music and the chemical reactions created by the "ensemble" of these wonderful performers. The members of this octet, which Faust says could not have been better companions in their journey through Schubert's musical world, are a perfect match for each other. It is 70 minutes of superb music.All string players are members of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, and the wind players are also members of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra: Coppola (clarinet), Zwart (horn), and Zahra (bassoon), who are at the forefront of period instruments. period players. The intimate tones of the period instruments played by these players bring vividly to life the colors of the works, and each passage seems to speak to us in its own lively way.
