The Trout - watch a clip from a film documenting a legendary performance of Schubert's chamber work

On 30 August 1969, five young musicians came together to play Schubert's Trout Quintet in the new Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. Their names: Daniel Barenboim (piano), Itzhak Perlman (violin), Pinchas Zukerman (viola), Jacqueline du Pré (cello) and Zubin Mehta (double bass). The concert, and its preparations, were filmed and 'The Trout' became one of the best-loved and most successful classical music documentaries ever made. In this clip, watch the musicians prepare for the concert.
