Concert with Schubert's Octet performed by Metropolitana soloists, a work that challenges every performer and listener.

Brief Introduction When it comes to an octet, one is more tempted to call it a concerto for eight soloists, such is the prominence of the different parts in alternation. Franz Schubert's Deutsch 803 was written in 1824, in response to a commission from a Viennese aristocrat who played the clarinet, which explains why this instrument stands out from the ensemble on numerous occasions. However, the same applies to the bassoon, the horn or each of the strings involved. The result is a composition that challenges each performer, without exception, and also the listener. It is almost an hour of music that passes at the rhythm of a story being told, or a conversation being had. It is music in its purest state: sometimes restless, sometimes serene, sometimes exhilarating, other times calm and even elegant, flowing crystalline, cared for by someone who seems never to have lacked ideas.
