Franz Schubert's Octet for Winds and Strings
Andrew Dawes - violin Jonathan Crow - violin Guylaine Lemaire - viola Julian Armour - cello Murielle Bruneau - double bass James Sommerville - horn Kimball Sykes - clarinet Christopher Millard - bassoon

It’s a solid, tight reading of the Schubert Octet on all accounts, and makes for excellent summer listening. ***** The full 5 stars!
- Rick Phillips, Sound Advice on CBC Radio

If you've somehow managed to miss Schubert's Octet, do yourself a favor and use this lovely release to experience one of the most melodically rich works of a composer known for melodic richness.
