Entr'acte - Caroline Shaw - Calidore String Quartet

[@mspg2]

Wow a very dear friend of mine, Leonid Anikin, told me about you - he is right your music is pure beauty. The heartfelt tears glissando the viola plays at 9.00 are amongst the most amazing pieces I have ever heard.

[@cmcadministrativeteam5038]

How has this not gone viral yet? An outstanding piece and an outstanding performance.

[@eottoe2001]

33,460 views is pretty good for a modern quartet.

[@SimonSimon-rn3tm]

You are clearly a complete philistine!

[@johannesnicolaas]

It is a hidden jewel and that has a beauty of its own.

[@gaelhelander2654]

This Calidore Quartet performance of this piece (Entr'acte by Caroline Shaw) haunts me - in the very best way.

[@andrewklein4509]

Rendered me breathless and near tears. This work is beautiful, fascinating, and wonderfully played. It (the genius of the composer and the quartet players) made me hopeful about the future of classical music. If it is still not viral today, there something wrong out there.

[@gaelhelander2654]

The more I listen the more I fall in love with this performance. The nuanced playing and breathing space between phrases is amazing. This not a piece that plays itself and is probably different in every performance. When there are repeated notes each one gets just a little bit louder. And sometimes each repeated note gets just a little bit softer. They lean into the lovely dissonance by using no vibrato. They four players are so in tune with with each other (sorry for the pun) - they are checking in and ENJOYING themselves. I simply cannot say enough about this performance of this piece and it's wonderful impact on my soul

I just discovered Carline Shaw and I am quite blown away. I am astounded I just now have heard of her music.

[@unayang2677]

Beautifully performed...❤🎵🎼🎶🎻

[@AverrieLouise]

I love this carefully-conceived performance of a beautiful work by Caroline Shaw. This music, and its delivery here, moves me.

[@LysaReggae]

Introduced to this piece 2 years ago with none other than Caroline Shaw in the audience and perhaps conducting (if my memory serves) - fell in love instantly

[@ravenlily1223]

This is absolutely beautiful. I mean, those chords just pull at my heart.

[@1nW4lk3dBud]

I love this so much. I have come back to it over and over. I love the piece ( I bought the score). I love the performance. I love the video.

[@glennrussell575]

Sheer bliss! Every note a sweet joy.

[@ensembletrivium558]

Wow, this is amazing!!!! Thank you Caroline Shaw, you’re incredible!!!

[@barbaraarlen2882]

I think this is beyond beautiful. We just heard it played yesterday at Chatter at SITE Santa Fe.

[@aricduran7635]

The chills, I have

[@Calinoma]

Amazing piece and amazingly played! The pizzicato chorale at 2:50 has to be my favorite section.

Mine too :D

@@treeskky492 Funny should comment this now. I was just playing "Dido and Aeneas" by Purcell a few weeks ago and every time we got through a chorus near the end it reminded me of something but I couldn't figure out what. On about the 6th run, it finally came to me: Entr'acte by Caroline Shaw! Let me know if you hear the similarity in the harmonic motion at about :11 in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5vGo3mDhtp_qsU&ab_channel=EmmanuelleHaim-Topic Just reinforces what I've known for a long time about Shaw: she draws so much inspiration from early music!

[@treeskky492]

@@Calinoma I just played it for my chamber music quartet last week been listening to this piece non stop

[@ceciliesadolin1391]

Fantastic performance - simply, outstanding. Wonderful music. Hope that all is well, Caroline. :)

[@johnhunter4181]

Wonderful musicians that aren't all close mic'd ...we can even hear them turn the score pages - great recording and music with humour!

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

A masterwork without question.

[@Kumgll]

I love it. It is real music you can enjoy and into which you get your intellectual teeth. Leaves a feeling of deep satisfaction. Accessible but mysterious. Lets have some more.

[@stuartspenceshebish]

Wow, I love this!

[@larrybliss8330]

It's fun to watch the cellist smile.

[@michaudsavageify]

Y'all did a really nice job with this piece, thanks for sharing :)

[@felipetristanofficial]

Wow. This is my favorite interpretation. Bravi!

[@Floobie2956]

3:16 Perfectly timed sneeze.

[@TheJackHarkness]

I realise why this would look fragmented to someone, but it has perfect dream-logic to me. I compose in a sim manner. You abandon themes and motives, only to present a new material to which you later blend the same themes and motives and make a perfect gradient. I live dream-logic in music, rarely do I find it though!! Brilliant

[@vincenteoppolo9025]

like taking Debussy and shattering it then putting it back together in a different configuration

[@howunoriginal2]

Wow, I don't know what this is but I like it

[@Kumgll]

No less than superb craftsmanship

[@Ardjano234]

4:03 second violinist needs his coffee

[@TheJackHarkness]

Brilliant. I enjoyed this so much! Wow I'm so glad I discovered you, also, quartet, amaaaazing, wait! This was actually a string quartet!! Now that's what I call a good one, when you can't really tell nor does it matter. You all played with such emotion and passion, good job, also, violin n2 dude, your facial expressions are perf xD x

4:36 how does that violist's technique work?

[@patriciabcello]

TheMrarrie18 the bow and first finger are pressing on the string to create the sort of ticking pitch when plucked by the left hand pinkie

[@greggierney5259]

Sounds a lot like Glass's soundtrack to Dracula, only played more slowly.

[@gaurangigoa3126]

Where can u get this sheet music

[@TheJackHarkness]

9:15 why am i still not hearing sadish cliche glissandos??? I'd go so crazy with them at that point, just to piss the haters ahahaha. Or just some melodic line consisting of long notes, perhaps in cello ?

[@baremeg3875]

This is pretty good for a modern, classical piece.

[@andrewklein4509]

Sorry! Meant "there's," not just "there.")

[@Mathieu1696]

So is that the group name? or is it just that lady named Caroline Shaw

[@TheJackHarkness]

Ahhhh Mrs/Miss Shaw, please contact me, I absolutely love your music and want to find out more about your influences. I totally dig this, it's not fragmented. At least not to my ear, it is a perfect blend of old and new, heard and unheard and I love your explorations of common archetypal (harmonic) progressions and the ways in which you make them your own. Mmm very sexy music!

[@TheJackHarkness]

[@shnimmuc]

TheJackHarkness If this is brilliant, were in for trouble.

[@TheJackHarkness]

Read the res of my comments. Indeed, old people are in trouble. She has the flare of 21st century while you still wallow in avantgarde of Ligeti and nonsense of 20th century. Bye old diploma ppl x

[@TheJackHarkness]

Some composers tell stories, while others focus on finding grids to hold on to. The latter ones should die off slowly

[@shnimmuc]

TheJackHarkness Nothing of worth or original in the piece.

[@jaspernatchez]

pop music with no melody and a few wrong notes and sound effects to make it modern
