Schubert: piano quintet in A major, D.667 (1819), popularely known as the 'Trout Quintet', based on his Lied "Die Forelle" ("the trout"); this piece in part inspired future efforts in the composition of piano quintets, especially those of Schumann and Dvorak.

Schubert wrote the String Quintet shortly before his death (at age 31) in 1828; one can only imagine what treasures might have followed had he lived another 30 or 40 years.
Critics describe this quintet as "one of the most compelling in the chamber music repertoire".

Antonin Dvorak: Quintet For Piano, 2 Violins, Viola And Cello, Op.
His Quintet in C--by far the great work ever written for a string quartet with an extra cello--shows him at his summit with an ethereal second movement that often communicates the sense of spiritual suspended animation that the minimalists strive for but don't often achieve.
The C major quintet is a perfect example of Schubert's compositional style-- the first movement alone is nearly 20 minutes, and the entire quartet is just 7 minutes shy of an hour.

 The Music Chamber - Schubert String Quintet in C, D.956
Text: Schubert String Quintet is one of the noblest and most elevated examples of pure and direct communication with the Divine through the medium of instrumental music.
And yet an intimate experince of the Quintet tends to draw us inexorably to the conclusion that, having created this masterpiece, he realised the greatest heights, and we wonder whether he could ever have surpassed himself had he lived a normal life span.
This is seen in his String Quartet No. 15 in G Major and also in the "Great" C Major Symphony.

Intermezzo, for string quintet in D minor, WAB 113 Moderato - Trio.
Bruckner's early string quartet is more a composition exercise than a full-fledged work of art, but the quintet is something else entirely: a chamber music masterpiece to rank with the great symphonies in expressive intensity and sheer musical grandeur.
This is most noticeable in the Quintet's first and third movements - at some points the leader seems to be trying to shape each note individually, rather than letting them be parts of a larger whole.

 CD Baby: JIM GAILLORETO: Jazz String Quintet
Jazz String Quintet is an original blending of both jazz and classical music; written for string quintet and soprano sax.
The attractiveness of such a fusion jumps out at anyone familiar with both formats: the string quartet is classical music’s equivalent of the basic jazz trio, in the sense that each exists as a compact, flexible self contained combo.
The piece originally appeared in the repertoire of the Portable Quintet, the jazz band Gailloreto co led in the 80s; in fact, it served as the group’s extended signature piece.

The Quintet is a much earlier work, and oddly was not published until 1960.
A short Menuetto precedes the fourth movement finale which has the feeling of a Russian dance, but is interrupted in the middle by a lovely adagio solo passage given to the first of the two cellos.
The two cellos add a welcome warmth to the sound throughout the quintet, and their individual contributions are more easily appreciated due to the excellent hi-res surround reproduction.
