Claude Debussy-String Quartet in g minor (Complete)

[@reedmohlman9762]

10:22 onward is some of the most beautiful music I have ever had the pleasure of listening to in my life. Sorrow, triumph, all of life's joys and trials translated through musical perfection. Happy tears.

[@billding7073]

Four minds playing with one heart. This is a beautiful and articulate realization of this masterwork. This quartet was the paradigm of their time.

[@kimsclub9001]

Highly recommend this recording. interpretation and ensemble, everything is extraordinary.

[@noelfrancois3591]

Merveilleuse musique . C'est avec cette version que j'ai découvert cette oeuvre à l'adolescence

[@JoaoFurtadoCoelho777]

One of the best versions I know of (if not the best!). One may say the chosen tempi are perfect (a bad tempo will completely ruin a piece). The precision of details, without impairing the overall architecture and the "general poetic atmosphere", is truly remarkable. Thanks.

[@YingTou1]

Nailed it.

[@George560920]

I tried to find out what might be reason for the Hungarian name of a quartet consisting of four Russian musicians. I found a Hungarian website where I could read about the history of this excellent quartet starting with three Hungarian and one Dutch members in 1917 and finishing with four Russians in 1967. Anway, the recording is very nice. Thank you for posting it. George

One of the best string quartets (piece of music) ever written. It has everything from the most delicate melodic tenderness /3rd movement - to great inventive rhythms (2nd movement) - to adventures imagination (1st movement) - just GREAT!!!

I think he's posting time codes for movements as well as rehearsal marks.

That cello makes my heart sing. Wonderful music exquisitely played.

[@above-all-jsb4891]

Budapest String Quartet did a wonderful job: it's thanks to performances of such vividness that new repertoire can join the traditional one: another example can be the young La Scala String Quartet playing Verdigo (on KZbin too)... definitely worth listening to.

[@davidrehak3539]

Köszönöm az értékelést

[@Yalkipalki]

Just love this - so beautiful someone like Ratmansky should choreograph a ballet to it.

[@sfordnyc]

Remember that these guys were young when Debussy was still alive. So they inhabited his original sound world -- a window into the past -- even if they evolved during their own lifetimes.

[@YingTou1]

How interesting - thank you.

[@sfordnyc]

@@ExxylcrothEagle The Quartet formed in 1917 but the individual players were born in late 19th / early 20th C so their formative, student years were spent in the first two decades of the 1900s -- most certainly a time period when Debussy was composing.

[@ExxylcrothEagle]

@@sfordnyc I had to delete my comment because it was so stupid!! 🤫😆. Thank you for being nice about it

[@darrylschultz9395]

​@@ExxylcrothEagleAww-other people's stoopid comments are my favourites!

[@snugglethorn]

I always found it odd that he and Ravel only wrote one string quartet each...It's SUCH a suitable format for them

[@MB-pm4xe]

Debussy had six more in the planning just before he died. One of the greatest losses to the canon that he did not live to write them.

[@ExxylcrothEagle]

I knowwww 😢

[@MrPaevo]

Great remaster, I think I'll purchase this CD.

[@darrylschultz9311]

MrPaevo Why?Just listen to it on 'ERE! And if you want to listen to it heaps,get it onto an old cassette you'd probably find lying around somewhere if you looked hard enough-it's amazing what you can find sometimes when you do a quick rummage through the years of built up stuff in cupboards and under couches etc.

[@TheIcarusKid]

THIS. IS. SO. GOOD.

[@xxzxcusxme]

The build up from 15:00 to the melody after 15:30 is just lully

[@reev9759]

And then the melody after is splendid too.

[@xxzxcusxme]

That's what I meant, it's made all the better by virtue of the buildup in dischord.

[@richardagins871]

There is a great book (unfortunately now out of print) called "Con Brio," which is a history of the Budapest Quartet. It explains the evolution of the Quartet from its original membership to the 4 Russian Jews who made it famous. Try Amazon for a used copy. Very well written and you will see why all the string quartets of the 20th and 21st centuries owe a debt of gratitude to the Budapest.

[@YingTou1]

On my to-read list. Thanks.

[@jblair5492]

the guy in the middle - his head could literally fit inside the head of the guy on either side of him

[@Mezzotenor]

LOL.. It's a a sloppy montage, apparently.

[@ariepro9832]

During the Stalinist Terror he was erased from the picture, after the rise of Krutschev he was put back in, but sloppily.

[@josiah9617]

That's why they call him little head.

@@josiah9617 "kleinekopf" (little head)? lolss
