Songs by Schubert and Mahler, and Mendelssohn's String Quartet No 1 in E flat, Op 12

Mahler's Songs of a Wayfarer, Mendelssohn's String Quartet No 1 and Schubert's Shepherd on the Rock, recorded live in concert at the 2021 Schubertiade Schwarzenberg festival.

For 45 years, the rolling green hills and fields of western Austria have provided the backdrop to the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg festival. Last year's festival saw a characteristic mix of seasoned musicians rub shoulders with some of the brightest performers from the younger generation in a series of concerts with the songs of Schubert at their core but also including top-class chamber concerts and piano recitals.
