The saddest Andante I have heard from Schubert.
I haven't gotten into too deep in Schubert's chamber music but this is extremely well crafted and I quite like the way Budapest Quartet executed it.
Structurally titanic in nature as composer's Great C Major.

There is something about Georgian pianists and me. We get along just fine and this recording makes me happy.

Dear Kuma,
I agree that the C Major Quintet is one of the great Titanic Masterpices of Chamber Music. But do try out the E Flat Piano, Violin and Cello Trio by Schubert. I commend the performance by Rudolf Serkin, Adolf and Hermann Busch. The slow movement is an amazing tragic march, which while less lyrical than the Quintet is one of the best slow movements in classical music. The outer movements are every bit as engaging!
Something to investigate!
ATB from George
PS: In my humble view the Budapest made the best cycle of Beethoven String Quartets and only the half cycle by the Busch Quartet offers even more depth and humanity!

What more can be said about this stunning album? Visceral - wave after wave of goosebumps. I'm rationing myself to one dose a week. Oh, and I discovered it from this thread. 
I have tried ordering this on vinyl from Amazon but both the original and replacement copy were badly warped 
They suspended selling it while they investigated why but I see it is available again now, maybe I will try again.
More easy jazz from the past.

A great album in my view too MDS. I have only just taken it out of the car where it has been played constantly for the past 2 months or so. I am only sad that there is unlikely to be any more music from them.
To celebrate his life and music I will be playing his music throughout the day. Starting with this one
