Title: A Real Shame this is out-of-print
Review: This is the clearest, cleanest, most passionate version of Schubert's masterpiece that was ever recorded, and it's not in print. What a travesty! I have 5 or 6 versions of this particular Quintet (my favorite all-time chamber piece), even done by better known artists, and they can't hold a candle to this one. The balance between the instruments, the clarity of each voice, and the unhurried feel of the performance makes this a transcendent listening experience. There is hope for us all, though - eMusic has this as a 6-track download (the early Cm overture is a real gem as well). Do yourself a favor and find a hard copy, or at least download it...chamber music has rarely been preserved as gloriously as this on CD.
