The is one darn good quartet, very much looking from hearing more from them.

[@ShooneyToons]

truly beautiful!

MAGNIFICENT WORK...SUPERBLY REALIZED. BRAVO!

[@PianoSteven]

Sounds wonderful!

[@irabraus9478]

An exquisite performance! The players seem to be searching for a common sweet spot from start to finish. Great to see/hear the cello listening to the second violin!

What took me so long to appreciate Brahms? What else have I missed ....?

[@yvonnebernklau4047]

worlds! I'm just grateful to have born after Brahms

[@barney6888]

It's like being at an endless buffet, endless to the left, endless to the right. Dishes that are the most amazing thing ever, way over there, but we don't even see them yet. The string quartets of Beethoven alone are enough to give a music lover 100 years of elation, yet there's more, and more, and more.

Man I always watching the facial expressions people make when they’re playing. It’s like visual representation of the pure emotion they put into playing

[@patriciakudzia3086]

Where is the third movement?

[@legamature]

They left it out. Not Brahms best work.

[@patriciakudzia3086]

@@legamature Not a professional answer. Either do the entire work or let it be known it is an abreviated version. The nuance of what constitutes "best work" should be left for the listener to decide.

[@legamature]

@@patriciakudzia3086 I was kidding. I think this must be the entire work.

[@patriciakudzia3086]

@@legamature It is not the entire work. I have played the entire work and it has 4 movements.

[@legamature]

Then we may never know why the 3rd movement is not here.@@patriciakudzia3086

Why is Harry Potter playing Brahms

[@bogdansofei1299]

He was looking for the right potion to transform his part into what Brahms imagined... The question is.... Did he find it ???.....

[@staffanolofsson8201]

The only thing I have to say about this interpretation is that they left the wonderful third movement out. Such a bad behavior ought to be forbidden.

[@balourdetquartet]

This performance is from a competition in which we were asked to omit the third movement- we love the movement though and invite you to watch a later performance we gave! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWHLlHyJp7B-bqs
