magnificent idea to orchestrate Beethoven's quartets. Leonard Bernstein set quartets 14 and 16 to music with the Vienna Philharmonic and it was spectacular.

[@helenweeks4442]

Bravo 👏👏👏

Bravo!!!

[@STEPHANM0ELLER]

Why these cuts in the fugue? Otherwise: Just phenomenal, both the arrangement and the execution! Superb tempi! Genial idea to interprete the Cavatina as a violin concerto/opera aria!

An almost weird experience when you are used to the String Quartet. But I have to say that NCO succeeds in enhancing the feelings almost as much as from 4 to 20 is. Thank you for always challenge the limits...

[@gerdprengel7616]

What a joy to listen to this masterwork in your wonderful string orchestra performance!! I love this work so much that I even tried to go a step further and write with greatest pleasure a version with added colourful woodwinds, horns, ... - for full symphony orchestra: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4vcYZqDfdl_es0 :-)

So now we know where Boulez stole his ideas from.

[@barney6888]

Everything's great, except I don't understand why, in the last 20 years or so, there has to be somebody's "visual conception" involved in a great work of musical art. It's like putting a moustache on the Mona Lisa. Here I refer to the lighting. Beethoven doesn't need any help with his art. 200 years later and the audience hasn't changed - donkeys, cows, pigs and sheep.

Orchestra doesn't really go well with große fugue.

[@STEPHANM0ELLER]

???????? What makes you think so?????? This performance proves rather the opposite!
