As Schubert's reputation grew, so too did respect for his music amongst the professional musicians of Vienna. Schubert wrote two chamber works with some of these musician friends in mind - a virtuosic piece for violin and piano, and a delightfully lyrical piano trio. Donald Macleod introduces both works plus an excerpt from his bleakly beautiful song-cycle 'Winterreise'.
