There is a mathematical enigma here. This string quintet, which has been a favourite of mine for more than half a century, clearly requires five players; but in this utterly outstanding performance, a single heart beats throughout, and a single soul sings. I have never heard the like of it. (And I notice, in this church setting, that the signs for "PEACE" and "HOPE" have been unceremoniously stashed away in a corner, as though in recognition of the fact that in Schubert's all-encompassing vision, such banal slogans have no place in the expression of true sublimity. Thank you, thank you.

Emerson is able to play with deep feeling without schmaltz or sentimentality. The performance is clear, direct, patient, and assured, with nothing to prove to anyone. This gives it a deep spiritual quality, as if all unessentials have been left behind, leaving only the music's pure, timeless soul.
Is there any way this recording could be made available for download or purchase?

Indiscutibilmente uno dei capolavori assoluti della musica da camera. Ogni paragone sarebbe inappropriato. Vi sono altre gemme che risplendono tanto quanto questa. Ma ora, ed ogni volta che la sentiamo, godiamoci questa. Per quanto conosco, il q. Emerson è l'unico degno erede in attività del q. Amadeus, del q. Italiano e del q. Alban Berg.

Absolutely the best chamber piece ever conceived. Shows what the violist can do.
