Schubert: String Quintet

I had to listen to this CD 4 times, before I could appreciate it. I will quote myself after my first listening:

Well despite boasting the participation of Rostropovich, I have to say that I am not impressed by this work. I feel that it simply accumulates many loose phrases that end not being sufficiently tied up in a coherent work. I think it sounds like a Beethoven wannabe, with little dramatism.

This is my first impression, and I will listen to it again.

Now I can say that I enjoy it. The bass gives it a solidity that is not particular of a general basso continuo.
