Schubert's Octet unfolds as symphonic chamber music of surprising breadth and dramatic variety.
"What makes Boswil so special is the people." - Shira Majoni
Schubert's Octet is a work that may seem like a fine divertimento at first glance, but on listening reveals itself to be symphonic chamber music of overwhelming breadth. The six movements alternate between elegiac adagios, lively minuets and extended variations, in which a theme from his opera "The Friends of Salamanca" is heightened to the point of romantic yearning. Winds and strings merge into densely interwoven carpets of sound, pathetic introductions and dance-like interludes lend the work a dramatic dynamic. Even the first performance left contemporaries astonished: "Schubert", wrote Moritz von Schwind, was "inhumanly industrious".
