Bartok String Quartet No. 6 - Callisto Quartet

[@fliptop2]

One of the best performances

[@pimogens222]

A most creditable performance. Special thanks to the camera guy who kept the camera still and did not try to find various possible and impossible shooting angles. I really liked seeng all four interact during the entire piece.

Bartok incroyable d'inventivité : rythmes insensés, équilibre & fragmentation . Les pizzicatos sont magnifiques

I Can't believe I'm falling in love with a late Bartok Quartet!!! The 2nd Movement wild,unforseeable ,great music that really grabs you along for its trip!This 1st movement is unforgettable !The Mesto is a jewel as played here! Wow!Just the music itself !The Marcia speaks like Beethoven!The music at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="690">11:30</a> a second Mesto must be famous! Incredible,unforgettable tinged with folksiness Nos.4,5and 6 I was never able to pay attention to. After composing over 12 years now -I think I can follow much more.It's not really frightening ;it ain't Hadyn .The pacing ,texture changes,so many details the music instantly gives one a sense of great agreement between the 4 parts here unlike some of the earlier works.The viola solo at beginning?but Bartok has something to say and his repetitions of motifs are incredible to the ear (the sense,meaning I'm not certain of yet) A score will help me there ...The last minute will not leave one's ears .Harmonics .Amazing playing that really got something across .What incredible music !

It really is a fantastic performance! Wonderful clarity and balance. Beautiful tone and colours and perfectly synchronised. It´s a shame that the recording has artefacts although that might just be my internet connection of course. Apart from that the actual recording is phenomally good: no audience noise that I could hear: just the instruments. This piece really is such a masterpiece. Surely one of his best works if not his actual best. I haven't heard a recording as good as this from any of the great quartets. Top notch!

Thank you for the memories -- very beautifully played. When I was in high school in Berkeley circa 1960, I used to listen to this sixth quartet often (as performed by the Julliard String Quartet), so I know it quite well. The 'old friend' was definitely recognized in your excellent performance of the work!

Dans ses quatuors en particulier , la musique de Bartok est déroutante, stupéfiante , comme dans un mauvais rêve , mais on en ressort ébloui .
