Philharmonic members play Franz Schubert's and Jörg Widmann's Octets
About the Event
Ensemble Misto consists of members of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. As the name suggests, the ensemble is composed of both string and wind instruments, which is necessary to perform Franz Schubert’s beautiful and majestic Octet in F Major for clarinet, bassoon, horn and a string quintet with two violins, viola, cello and double bass. This music is inspired by Beethoven and commissioned by the famous clarinettist Ferdinand Troyer. Schubert was happy to oblige and in the second movement, the clarinet carries the slow, warm melody. This is classical music at its most beautiful.
