i never heard this song before. thanks for posting. LOVE IT!!!! Ravel was a genius and this interpretation is a classic that deserves more views.

[@bootman26]

Kick ass!!!!! Ravel threw the viola player a bone in the B theme, beautiful melody. The preformance of the melody was gorgeous, sounded more like a violin than a viola, but had the depth of the larger instrument.

[@origamibulldoser1618]

Holy crap everything about this is immedately and completely appealing

[@JamesCSLiu]

Magnificent sound! Now, Dover Quartet, please record the rest of the Ravel Quartet!

[@PhilMcKelliget]

The Dover Quartet certainly has soul!

[@sma1968]

Fantastic! For me, it's a tough choice between Debussy and Ravel -- with this edging out as potentially the greatest quartet written. Also really great to have a wonderful camera operator that knows the piece! Bravo across the board.

[@Potato-su8us]

my a string broke hearing this xd. love this performance

[@shackamaxon512]

I love pizzicato! It evokes intrigue. This is enchanting. I cant figure out where I've heard it before. A marvelous performance

[@nidhishshivashankar4885]

It was used in a commercial within the last 10-15 years or so I believe for 23&me or something

[@milocallist.o]

i wish that i could listen exclusively to the pizzicato parts for the rest of this year

[@richardwalker9826]

Magical sound from a majestic romantic composer- Ravel These guys and gal are a well oiled tantalizing sound phenomenon! They give me the illusion that i am listening to a whole symphony orchestra. And the video makes it sound even better.

[@alex9920ro]

Ravel was modernist/Impressionist, not Romantic

[@richardwalker9826]

agreed , but it will always sound romantic to me.@@alex9920ro

@@alex9920ro ravel may be modernist but this song has sadness and romanticism written all over it too.

Great playing and the photography and camera work is superb, too.

Un coup de jeune sur une œuvre intemporelle. 👍

[@Madaduxum]

Beautiful performance

[@Kjt853]

They make every note count, arco and pizzicato.

[@davidrowe1004]

Fantastic! Please please release this on CD.

[@davidroyer5049]

Wonderful performance. Just last night I attended a recital in a church where this quartet was played. . . Ravel was thirty years ahead of his time

[@effywang5690]

Saw them on now hear this, pure treasure!

[@StephenHarris-w6e]

For the person who was wondering, FYI it was used in the TV serialisation of The Chamomile Lawn some years ago. Quite wonderful!

[@asathewonderer]

this is breathtaking

[@raymondfallon7429]

Great job! I feel like logging in as someone else to give it another thumbs up! Just subscribed. I don't want to be that guy that tries to prove how smart he is by describing what you just played, but I really feel like you made it live, and I can't think of a better complement for musicians. Really well done.

[@dabedwards]

What a hook that little tune is!

[@jidiplaygames1244]

Incredible performance!!!

[@sharongustafsson512]

Simply stunning

[@SempreGumby]

Superb! Bravo! First time I've seen everybody on tablets turning pages with foot switches. This will date this video in the future if the metadata disappears for some reason.

[@paganinischoolofmusic]

Awesome, such energy! Thank you for sharing!

[@renzo6490]

So much better than a live performance. No coughing etc.

[@HenrySosenite]

Beethoven wishes he composed this. Great recording, it's hard to believe it's only four players!

Everything you touch turns to gold! Superb! EDIT: Just purchased "Encores". I'm addicted to this track! ANOTHER EDIT 😊: It looks like Joel has placed his mute between the A and E strings rather than between D and A? Is this a thing? Am I right? Does it really matter? 😁

[@milenapajaro-vandestadt8780]

It does make a difference! He may have done so to avoid certain wolf tones in that particular piece, or because of the way the mute fits with his string spacing. I’ll try to remember to ask him and get back to you :)

[@milenapajaro-vandestadt8780]

And thanks for purchasing “Encores”!!!

[@earthlightsmusic2743]

The bowed parts remind me of his Sonatine.

[@jasonball3496]

Reminds me of one of the Marvel movies' music. I think it's like a recurring motif in Spider-Man Homecoming?

[@elioravelo5542]

Yeah, I also recognize it from homecoming. In fact, if you search up homecoming theme, it sounds almost as if the score was just copy pasted, I think it’s even in the same key.

[@fantasticfungi]

Definitely in the same key, and also with plucked strings and same rhythm. Contours of the melody theme starts the same and diverges a little. Ravel: A-E-C-D-E-A-G vs. Spiderman/Giacchinno: A-E-D-E-F-C-A

Hermoso tema amigos felicitaciones. Una pregunta ¿puedo utilizar sus interpretaciones en mis videos de poblaciones pequeñas de mi Pais Ecuador?? sin que tenga problemas de copyright??

[@tylers9006]

Just occurred to me that cello doesn’t use arco until 2 minutes in

I just started using 12.9 inch iPad Pro for concerts as well. I’m a cellist. What kind of iPad stand do the Vcl and Vla musicians use??
