Dmitri Shostakovich - String Quartet No. 10, Op. 118 (1964)

[@ninjaassassin27]

There is far too much beautiful music, and far too little music which looks at the ugly and serious parts of life. Thank god for Dmitri Shostakovich. And for this channel.

Word, and despite all the harsh reality found in Dmitri's music, he still finds moments to give us some beauty. Specifically in this piece, 0:20 - 0:28

Love this quartet. I’ve heard it arranged for string orchestra. Works well both ways.

Wunderschöne und spannende Interpretation dieses modernen und perfekt komponierten Streichquartetts im veränderlichen Tempo mit ein bisschen neuesachlichen doch wesentlich seidigen Tönen vierer technisch perfekt Instrumente. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders schön und echt melodisch. Im Kontrast klingt der letzte Satz echt lebhaft und auch inspirierend. Wunderbar und atemberaubend zugleich!

I've said it before and I'll say it again... there's some serious heavy metal going on in here.

I would love to hear someone play this on an electric guitar

[@mattimaranda9638]

​@Ella-hg4cq electric guitar, baritone, bass guitar and drums. That would be pretty awesome.

@@Ella-hg4cq Would sound terrible, obviously. Electric guitar was designed for quite limited goals.
