Exceptional performances by all…Brahms would be very proud of you! The minor key- no red roses.

A beautiful performance. I enjoyed this very much.

27:52 el cuarto movimiento es, sencillamente, una perlita

Otra genialidad de Mozart. Excelente grabación de 5 músicos de gran nivel

It doesn't work for me. Violin and cello makes the voices ambiguously the same instrument, clarinet is always a different voice.

The pianist is amazing

Awesome!

Una versión preciosa, muy expresiva.❤

Nice performance. Buena medida, tempo y pulso.❤

What a great reception from the audience. This is a difficult quartet, but it seems as though this first rate performance was compelling enough to rouse the audience.

Magnifique performance! D'une grande sensibilité, profondeur!

All these years and Cohen still has it!

Bravo!! Congrats

Why bother just 💩

great

Magical. Been too long since I've let this piece take me on a journey. Well realized. Bravo

Beautiful intensity, brought me to tears! Thank you.

The best string quartet in the nation however they disbanded. Which leaves us with the Julliard string Quartet

Thank you for programming this exquisite work and posting it for all to enjoy. You all play it so beautifully! Along with the Franck (of course!), Raff, Martucci and Schmitt (please take this one on if y'all already haven't!), the Taneyev is there in my favorite quintet of quintets!

I learned this piece by hearing Perlman-Tuckwell-Ashkenazy years ago. This is competitive, with the wonderful horn playing, but the violin is seriously undermiked.

Excellent, excellent performance of one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. Thank you! [An almost sacrilegious comment by my wife, who also loves this piece: “That young man has the most expressive ears I have ever seen!”]

Move to heaven

Spectacular in every way imaginable!

I heard this on BBC Radio as I was writing my novel, and it helped so much with my creativity... it was beautiful (Cesar Franck's Violin Sonata in A major)

Wonderful ! Very nice music! Congratulations Sincerely it's a joy

Hermoso cuarteto. Emotivo y perfecto. Indispensable Haydn!!!

Incredible incredible incredible, the piece this performance and the audio

Obra exquisita. Magistral interpretación.

I love these boys ❤

❤❤❤

so nice. I liked the melody and the performance as well.

Janácek sempre surpreendente. Maravilhoso e criativo quarteto. Parabéns ao grupo pala excelente performance.

Absolutely stunning

The climax at 26:25 is one of my favourite moments in any piece of chamber music ever. Perhaps the best performance of this masterpiece, technical perfection aside, it has so much raw emotion in it it really conveys what Mendelssohn poured in this tremendous work.

Bravo ❤❤❤❤❤

23:46 The cello part here is one of the best things ever composed and Oliver is in it 👏🏻

9:47

Beautiful music. It deserves in the years ahead to be labeled an absolute classic. Sorry there are no more listeners.

I think just maybe the clarinetists reed is a bit hard.The Flutist is brilliant !

bravoooooooo!!!!!

Fantastic

C'est très romantique, cette œuvre composée en l'hommage de sa sœur Fanny en mai 1847, Mendelssohn mourra quelques mois en octobre de la même année, juste après elle.

Grandios. Musikalische Leidenschaft pur hat uns Janacek hier geboten. Eine wunderbare Interpretation.

All the coughing. One reason I will not attend live performances. Plus people talking, rustling their programs or candy wrappers. Their strong perfume or tobacco breath or other body smells. Applause immediately as the music stops ! No I'll stay in my lovely home where it is quiet and sweet and listen to a studio recording in a comfortable chair or sofa until the music is finished and slowly melts back into the silence.

A superb rendition of this masterwork of the sextet repertoire!

Have now watched a few orchestral performances of this and it is truly a chamber piece like seen here - reduced to the core, as minimal as the music itself. I know the Ensemble Modern recording (1997) pretty well and this came quite close to it. Bravo!

This is great! I'm working on it right now to perform in October and this is truly inspirational - especially from a musical standpoint. It's easy to play this with bravado but at the moment, the delicacy of the piece is completely missing. This performance inspires me to think more about that. Thank you!!!!

Что делать, после Гульда разве возможно слушать Вариации в исполнении ещё кагото. Лучшее враг хорошего. Строгий закон. Островский. 18.04.24.

Britten was a mere 19 when he composed this highly original work, dedicated to oboist Eugene Goossens but with the score being given to his long time teacher Frank Bridge. The 'fantasy quartet' (sometimes "phantasie" with reference to Purcell) was a British trend in the early 20th century which allowed for odd mixtures of instruments. Vaughan Williams wrote a fantasy quintet pre-WW1. Because the UK was not in step with Continental trends in extended chamber music but there were many excellent soloists who had learned how play with string ensembles in the music colleges quite a lot were written. Britten's Op.2 is very disciplined and seemingly in conventional arch form but is harmonically complex, "modern", has musical quotes from Bridge, Berg, Prokofiev and Ravel but it does not imitate their styles yet brings something new into the music of the time, which developed rapidly in the larger orchestral and vocal works which are more familiar and stand the test of time. Britten notably liked the possibilities of the oboe and cor anglais in larger works for a cutting but full sound and very different harmonics from clarinets. His much later solo oboe 'Ovid Metamorphises' explores this further and it is said that he woke up to the oboe family via Mahler, Prokofiev and Shostakovich. The musicians here are first class and know the seldom performed 'master piece' ,in the literal and historical sense of the term, inside out. Others stumble but these musicians do not.

Una autentica maravilla
