Afternoon Play: Resurrecting Schubert

on BBC Radio 4 FM

As a young girl, Katarina nursed the dying Schubert. On his deathbed he asked to hear Beethoven's String Quartet in C sharp minor, Op 131. A quartet duly arrived and played at the foot of his bed. Schubert died five days later. But for Katarina, the memory of the music lived on. A drama documentary written by Nicholas Mcinerny with commentary by Levon Chilingirian.
Music played by the Coull Quartet; Producer/Director Rosie Boulton
