First in a week of lunchtime concerts from Schwarzenberg in the Austrian mountains, with Schubert's String Quintet, D956, played by the Simply Quartet and cellist Harriet Krijgh.

Sarah Walker presents highlights of this year’s Schubertiade, a celebration of Schubert’s music held in the Austrian village of Schwarzenberg, famed for its traditional rustic wooden houses. The concerts took place in the Angelika Kauffmann Hall, a handsome timber-framed building overlooking idyllic mountain pastures, whose exquisite acoustics and intimate atmosphere make it an ideal venue for Schubert’s chamber music.

Today’s programme features his final chamber work: the String Quintet, D956, with its magical slow movement.
