Schubert: Des Tages Weihe, D. 763 (1822)

Schubert's lovely vocal quartet. It is religious in nature, but can perfectly well be enjoyed secularly. It shows Schubert's meticulously crafted, near-porcelain harmonic and melodic ability, while also showing Schubert's affinity for the key of A-flat. I hope you enjoy. Performance: Gerald Moore with Elly Ameling, Dame Janet Baker, Peter Schreier, and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. I do not own this recording. This video was made for educational purposes.
