Though piano is my instrument of choice, I was handed a viola for orchestra in the 5th grade, then continued in junior high school orchestra (JHS 119 Queens), high school orchestra (Newtown High school Queens) then college orchestra (Queens College NYC). One day, I dared to ask 2 cellists and 2 violin players to join me in practicing this awesome treasure. After months of practice (1st violin counting beats after the furioso part is extremely tricky) we wound up playing it in Carnegie Hall right after our Queens College performance of Schubert's Unfinished symphony - our conductor was George Kanalakis (a Greek like me). It was a once in a lifetime experience to be performing on the stage of Carnegie Hall!! I shall treasure that experience for the rest of my life - or until I get dementia - whichever comes 1st. I was only 19 for that performance. It's now 47 years later and I'll be 67 in July. I've asked my family to please play this movement at my funeral. To me, it's like a "gateway" to heaven's door. Can anyone else hear the words "I love you" or "Must go now" starting at 4:12 into this movement? It is to weep! No matter how many times I hear it, I go through a lot of tissues. Schubert wrote this when he was very close to his own passing. Such genius doesn't visit us often and/or God Himself touched the soul of Franz himself. PS - this movement is used in the movie "The Human Stain" starring Anthony Hopkins.

Aller je me lance pour le premier commentaire en français. Génial. Laissons nous nous envouter avec ce morceau. Parfait pour une pause detox du monde moderne !
Not only tears Your heart out. It does that in C major, that is the point! Never heard anything so deeply sad in C major. Love the pizzicatos and the accords so much, no doubt Schubert was a genius! Btw it was also used for the movie Taking sides directed by István Szabó. Every time I listen to this beautiful pizzicato, the raindrops come to my mind.
It was also used in the beautiful film _Carrington_ about the life of the artist Dora Carrington and her relationship with the writer Lytton Strachey. I can't hear it now without recalling that film. It's available here on RUclips, by the way.
Excellent performance. This must be one of the most difficult pieces to perform! I mean, technically, it is probably a breeze for most professionals. But to bring out the music of this piece, to even understand (and agree on) what the music is trying to say, and do justice to that interpretation, must take an incredibly deep understanding of this work of art. It also must require incredible dedication and focus in every performance - no matter how accomplished the performer may be. I particularly appreciate how little bodily movement you see from these artists. They are letting their instruments and Schubert's soul be the mouthpiece, rather than making it all about themselves with over-the-top body movements and facial expressions.
I agree with you. For me the second movement is in the beginning like music in heaven, if there is music at all. When I listen to this masterpiece - composed in awaiting of eternity-I get weaker and weaker in my feelings. And ending so sweet......
I've known and loved this piece since childhood, but never got to see it performed live. What an amazing and well-balanced interplay among the parts Shubert filled: the cellists take turns in solo and support roles. The rest take on traditional parts of a quartet. OK - as a former cellist, I'm prejudiced LOL
La cumbre de la musica occidental, escrita por un joven que estaba a las puertas de la muerte, no obstante termina con una especie vals entre alegre y triston, como viendo una luz al final del tunel.
Shubert, c'est l'anti Berlioz. La ou le deuxième vous balance des effets dans les oreilles comme un réalisateur de film d'action utilise les trucages pour dissimuler l'absence de scénario et tenter de nous épater avec son savoir faire, Schubert nous prend par la main, comme un ami, et nous emmène partager son intimité en toute simplicité, avec une bienveillante complicité.
Ne comparez pas; il y a des moments de musique absolument sublimes chez Berlioz... Et on ne peut pas comparer une musique de chambre avec une musique symphonique ou d'opéra... Il est sûr que Schubert atteint des sommets avec de la simplicité et de la sobriété, qui ne sont pas les qualités qu'on reconnaîtrait à Berlioz. Mais Berlioz peut aussi faire simple... Prenez les Nuits d'été (pour soprano), par exemple. Et c'est magique.
@@piettrebernard57 bien sur, et le spectre de la rose... etc... mais c’était pour trouver une image entre le style feutré et intimiste de Schubert (pour moi) et le coté (en général) plus grand spectacle de Berlioz. Que je n'aime tout de même pas tant que ça, gout totalement subjectif et personnel.
Cercate su youtube Rubinstein che presenta questo pezzo commuovendosi. È emozionante lui vecchietto, con gli occhietti semichiusi e le parlole che dice al riguardo...😥😥
@@videomillsy The score implies the pizzicato bass line is played by the second cello. Check out this version with the score: ruclips.net/video/DJ-vroCJvzo/видео.html The Adagio starts at 15:42
Oh I don't know. I think in the turbulent second section Schubert (as the first violin) is screaming at God: as if saying: "Why are you killing me at age 31?" Later he pleads to God: "LET ME LIVE." But God did not listen , and he dies at the end of the second section

Schubert's great Quintet is arguably the greatest example of chamber music ever written
My grandfather's favourite piece. He always said Schubert must have been "away with the angels" when he wrote it.

Eine der schönsten Interpretationen dieses wunderbaren Werkes
Wieso ist klingt das Cello so hervorstechend?
hauntingly beautiful,soo very moving! touches the very soul.
Il n’y a pas de mots pour décrire tant de beauté apaisement garanti emerveillee
You forget the second movement of the quintet C mayor. One of the of the most beatiful Music ever composed! Greetings from Mexico.
Nunca he escuchado algo mejor en mis 56 años

This movement is in E major with a modulation into F minor then back to E.
I see black smoke coming out of the camp chimneys.
I think the second movement is in F major though.
It was also used in the beautiful film _Carrington_ about the life of the artist Dora Carrington and her relationship with the writer Lytton Strachey. I can't hear it now without recalling that film. It's available here on RUclips, by the way.
this sounds wholesome but I know where you got this from
Its masterpieces like this that make me admire Schubert ... Brilliant !
Superbe et émouvant , rien à ajouter 😢
lovely perfomanance of a magical piece of music - thank you!
Qué belleza el corazón de Schubert y que maravilla esta versión, gracias.
Eichmann…. “Does it tear your heart out?”
Head butler…..“Beautiful sir.”
Bouleversant ! le compositeur Schubert semble prêt a partir vers une autre dimension que celle de l'humaine condition! !
I can’t believe how this music always makes me cry. One has to believe that Schubert was guided by the hand of God!
Too emotional and feels like crying. Beautifully performed. Love it.

Thank you so much for making it possible for me t hear this gorgeous piece.
Thats the musical hand from the other side that beckons you to pass over the bridge,,,,

Well performed and well recorded. Worth listening to all four movements of their interpretation.
Yes I agree. The other movements are superb as well, but the crown jewel is undoubtedly the second movement in my humble opinion.
Maravilloso 🌈 gracias
Ecceziionalmente bello
Magistral!
Une merveille ! L'esprit s'évade......
Sublime.
It plays at the end of the "Conspiracy" movie (2001), and it is perfect.
amazing all perfect first violin is wonderful
Thank you so much!
Did it tear your heart out?
Yes, it did. Eichmann had no musical taste
Impossible to hear this and not think of that final scene.

The episode was called “Death on time” and featured a plot about euthanasia.
Superb, magnífico, outstanding!
This was used as soundtrack for the movie "Conspiracy" from 2001, story about Wannsee conference in Germany in 1941 on the final solution...

To play pizz for most of the piece must be a thankless task. I have to say she achieves a beautiful ringing tone.
We didn't deserve this music
Speak for yourself, Alfiya. ;)
I truly believe that Schubert gave it to us along with so much love in his heart
Perhaps we did not deserve it, but we are very fortunate that we have it.
5:00 :O
I remind the film, On the beach at night alone.
Obra maestra!
I want this for my funeral. I wonder I there is an arrangement for organ?
It is, of course, Schubert writing about death. He clearly doesn't think much of it, although the music is of great beauty.
Oh I don't know. I think in the turbulent second section Schubert (as the first violin) is screaming at God: as if saying: "Why are you killing me at age 31?" Later he pleads to God: "LET ME LIVE." But God did not listen , and he dies at the end of the second section
It seems an appropriate choice then, for the end of “Conspiracy”
Schubert wrote this on September. he died in november.
Exactly. He described in the Second movement his own death.
A short life but productive
Schubert, mon amour!
