Overview
One of the great landmarks of western classicalmusic, Schubert’s String Quintet in C stands at theheart of the Razumovsky Ensemble’s latest WigmoreHall programme. The work’s first movement, inspiredby the poem ‘Hymn to the Holy Spirit’, sets theintense tone for its sublime Adagio, among the mostrequested of all Desert Island Discs.
