Taken from Knight's album, reimagining the works of Schubert

Today's Video of the Day is a Schubert's Die Nacht from Josephine Knight's Schubert Reimagined album.

This unique new album revitalises the music of Franz Schubert and features renowned cellist Josephine Knight, alongside the highly-sought-after vocal group The Gesualdo Six, pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips and Timothy Jones on horn.

'As well as carefully selecting a handful of songs which have been arranged by Scholar Professor Timothy Jones for both cello, horn and piano and cello and piano, I wanted to mirror this idea and take the slow movement from one of Schubert’s most iconic works (thought to be the last chamber piece he wrote) the great C major string quintet known as the 'Cello Quintet', scored for string quartet plus an extra cello, and perform this with cello and the acclaimed all-male British vocal consort, The Gesualdo Six.' - Josephine Knight
