Schubert’s String Quintet is the only full fledged string quintet in the composer’s vast repertoire and its second movement’s sublime tones were requested by maestro Arthur Rubinstein and by the ECO’s first patron, Benjamin Britten, to be played at their funerals.
“The orchestra shone… in an unusually intense performance energetically led by Gonley”
The Guardian
“The ECO’s silky ensemble, lithe articulation and feisty counterpointing of voices were due in no small part to the leadership of Stephanie Gonley.”
