Christoph Eschenbach reunites with Paris-based Thymos Quartet in Schubert’s triumphant chamber work, the “Trout” Quintet, a recording that celebrates the 80thbirthday of the great pianist / conductor. From babbling brook and leaping fish, this present-day Schubertiade relocates to a 19th century Viennese salon, with aselection of the composer’s waltzes in unique chamber music arrangements and concludes with selected Ländler, performed by pianist Jean-Frédéric Neuburger, ranging in mood from iridescent to intimate.
