Horace Britt (1881-1971) was a Belgian-born cellist who worked internationally and became associated with British and American musical life. He was active as soloist, chamber musician and orchestral player.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Schubert’s String Quintet with the London Quartet.

Britt’s role is central to the work’s texture: the second cello gives Schubert’s quintet its extraordinary depth, warmth and inward glow.

His page is justified by secure identity and repertory significance. Britt brings the lower chamber line that makes Schubert’s quintet breathe so deeply.
