Quatuor Voce string quartet
François Girard cello
"Suspended time
Schubert: Quintet for two cellos in C major D. 956
Mozart, who wrote quintets for two violas, showed Schubert how the addition of a second instrument to support each part of the quartet in turn could give the ensemble an orchestral dimension and sound. In a time dilated to the extreme, the work pushes ever further the limits of musical expression and lyricism in chamber music, revealing this quintet with its confounding depth as the quintessence of Schubert's art.
