HRString Quintet in C Major, Op. 163, D. 956 (Arr. for 5 saxophones by Maja Lisac Barroso)

To rehearse a work that is actually seen as the ‘epitome of a chamber music work for strings’: Schubert’s famous String Quintet, D.956.

Something seemingly impossible…01. Maja Lisac Barroso – String Quintet in C Major, Op. 163, D. 956 (Arr. for 5 saxophones by Maja Lisac Barroso) I. Allegro m02.
