A fine performance of Schubert's Octet, D. 803, on period instruments. I can't find much to complain about here, except for minor tuning issues, which are to be expected in live recordings involving early 19th-century wind instruments. The whole work is naturally presented in the article Octet (Schubert), and the first movement is used as an example in the chamber music article. My personal favourite movement is the third one ... it sounds like so much fun!
