Building a Library

Roger Parker chooses his favourite recording of Mozart's String Quintet No.3 in C major.

Mozart reaches a high peak of his genius in this quintet for strings. He and his friends played his quintets for fun, but what happened after that remains mysterious. Unlike his piano concertos which were quickly sold, the quintets were hardly snapped up by the amateurs, partly because of their technical difficulty. He was eventually forced to sell them to his publishers for next to nothing. The poignant slow movement is pure Mozart and the finale is jubilant and life-enhancing.

Recommended recording:
Quatuor Eb猫ne
