Very good recommendation with this Pavel Haas Quartet recording from 2013, first mov't has lots of drive which wrings even more from the second theme. I always favored the Guarneri Quartet's reccording with Leonard Rose, but it's also the first recording I heard of the piece as I was learning the score, which can bend the needle. Also: make sure to catch Kuijken Quartet w/Boulanger from 2015 on period instruments: https://www.discogs.com/release/12039317-Franz-Schubert-Kuijken-Quartet-Michel-Boulanger-String-Quintet-D-956-Op-Posth-163
