Beethoven Quartet in A minor Op. 132 "Heiliger Dankgesang" - Alban Berg Quartet

[@RobertCole-p2l]

I am convinced that this was not written for humans, but rather is a direct conversation between Beethoven and the Godhead. For that reason its beauty is fresh and inexhaustible for we humans.

[@villain7140]

No, I’m pretty sure Beethoven wrote it for humans to play and listen to it

[@1193joao]

I'm not religious, but I sincerely get your point - it's a spiritual experience, a divine code seemingly cracked with ease... it's genious at work...

[@RobertCole-p2l]

The most beautiful melody on the history of Western classical music.

[@paulineip8425]

Totally agree !

[@ZosimoLee]

The music has a healing quality to it, a resolution that comes after having gone through a struggle and anguish perhaps. There is a different level of acceptance and even joy and gratefulness.

[@industrialengineer3269]

Fully agree with many views of here. This Beethoven's chamber piece surely it's one of the most ethereal works ever composed. Music full of grace. A luminous Beethoven. Thank you for upload this great performance!

[@Samgurney88]

It's a light in the darkness to experience such intense beauty. Whilst there are things like this in the world there is still hope.

[@andreeblake3352]

Simply glorious! Best of Beethoven. Takes me to another realm everytime.

I listen to this almost daily since I discovered it. Thanks for posting.

[@richardmayes8797]

I always have to turn my music off and go to bed after this piece. Nothing else can really follow after it.

The voices are so clear, thank you for this beautiful recording.

@@jonathanhenderson9422 suppose to be accurate he had to say 'as good as drugs', which might be true, since the levels of dopamine released can be quite similar. 'Better than' makes no sense in a narrow definition of pleasure as chemicals. Not that I endorse that. I'd go with Will Brown on this one.

[@jonathanhenderson9422]

@@Promethalus I was replying to sam who had claimed that "drugs destroy you." I was disagreeing with him and agreeing with Will Brown. Also, fyi, dopamine isn't a feel-good chemical; it's a "pay attention, you're about to feel good" chemical.

Is still version available in Spotify?

[@nrosen8794]

What wonderful artists. Dare I express an opinion? After repeated and admiring hearings I have come to the realization that I would be happier without the "non vibrato" technique, which is liberally applied in the slow sections.

[@kmo_1612]

A little amplified for my own taste. I feel it needs to be played more softly

[@afdcomposer]

Does this seem fast to anyone else?

[@andresmartinezgutierrez8420]

Maybe, but they get a lot of fluency in all movement, above all in the contrasting B section.

[@1swedeATfiorde]

+Andrés Martínez Gutiérrez Not one of Beethoven's easiest pieces to play yet interpretive at best...and best well conducted that way...hmm?

[@premchand828]

The only thing that's fast is my head hitting the laptop as i fall asleep.

[@paralysisbyanalysis2287]

Considering that the Budapest String Quartet takes this movement at a similar tempo... no

[@scottybrookie1381]

Yes! But it works. I've never heard it this fast and I feel like I learned some things, which to me is the best sign. I'm more disappointed with the way the energy dissipates between sforzandos starting around 12:45. But they still make a good case.

[@sanchopansa1950]

When was this performed ? The Alban Berg quartet ceased to exist in 2007. IMHO far superior to the Borodin quartet. More articulate. Subtler. Who shares that opinion ? Who thinks otherwise ? Comments appreciated.

[@usercodedevastator5378]

I share that opinion 🙂

Too slow. Too much vibrato. Intonation problems.

[@gtnsteve1]

Speak with a musician about this; you will change your mind.

[@creighton808]

Also listening to this I realize the intonation is impeccable. You should probably listen again you are confused

[@bert7109]

You don't know what you are talking about

[@phild1977]

I look forward to hearing your version in that case.
