4:46 why was that cello solo single-handedly the most majestic thing i’ve ever heard in my entire life

[@theliweli]

3:11 I just love the Viola part

3:46 the second violin going ham is my favorite part lol

Yes! This quartet is so satisfying for all parts.

For a viola to sound that good you have to practice 100 hrs a day. Huge props

[@vivianju2526]

Dmichoacan probably more lmao

[@cerebrummaximus3762]

Ikr, maybe Twoset have toned down their hate to Viola? Perhaps we've got a new Ally? Besides, the Viola is a gorgeous instrument

[@BetterMe981]

Outstanding violist in everything they play, it seems. As a cellist myself, I appreciate that! No quartet is good without an outstanding violist! You guys are all awesome.

[@elijahjaco1638]

The second violinist is so good!

[@ellasmullen3130]

I have a week to learn this song for a chamber music camp... thank god for this video where I can actually hear the cello.

The violist's playing is astonishing! I play viola in a string quartet. I wish I could be 1% of you.

[@jdsarfo610]

[@cmcull987]

Sounds like an awesome viola. And Dvorak gave the viola some solid and lovely music in this piece.

Imagine the huge smiles on their faces after the video ended, that was truly beautiful.

I don't know how, but this man captured the very essence of 19th century America.

[@chinmayk8004]

First 30 seconds!!! The viola backed by that pizzicato on cello!! Literal chills

This is the best recording of this piece by far.

[@jesusortiz5214]

I like the cello and the viola part at time 3:43

[@joeowens6180]

This new quartet is a spectacular gift to all lovers of chamber music! May they stay together, and play for us a long time.

[@jonteske4267]

I love the video format with panorama of the entire quartet all the time. My quartet (high level and performing quartet) consisting of three Ph.D lady researchers, two medical researchers (also has a violin degree), one economist, and me, a retired intelligence analyst. We are just starting this work together (we've all played it elsewhere, me on the two violin parts .) For people who actually play this format is superior for us to observe bowings, even fingerings to some extent and far more useful than looking up someone's nostrils. I also love the "living room" setting. We rehearse at my house, play for free at churches, civic events and senior centers. We all are in a local symphony. While I'm primarily a violinist, I've moved to viola from violin 2 when we lost our original violist [the classic "fourth for bridge", so I am observing Milena with great interest. I can and have played viola at a symphonic level, but not quite as "natively fluent" as I am on violin.

[@lbsaltzman]

Absolutely beautiful. The four of you have an incredible future together.

[@elizabethschaeffer9543]

That is what it is supposed to sound like. Others can only imitate you.

[@stephenlaird2370]

[@victoriaguitar]

I just adore the cellist and violist. The sound they make has such beauty and emotion. ❤

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

All string players are crazy. Cellists are manic depressives.

[@miker3903]

I am not a musician, but I really loved your quartet playing this. Thank you.

[@BetterMe981]

You have a great ear. I'm a long-time professional musician, and these guys are outstanding.

[@txbooklvr]

Love the violist in this ensemble! Definitely one of my most favorite quartets, love the way Dvorak writes for viola and cello specifically

[@ryojimartinez-mass8866]

fucking awesome! loved the viola, cello was great at 4:45

[@samg8761]

Such beautiful tone. perfect intonation. that was the best Viola solo i ever heard at the opening BRAVO!!!

[@birhb6372]

i second this!!

[@zoeedmonson1396]

I love how the cellist just looks around at everyone. communication at its finest

[@kenmorris]

Bravi. An astonishingly mature and sensitive reading of the first movement of one of the greatest of string quartets. The Dover Quartet already demonstrates not only technical mastery, but moreover, a preternaturally keen awareness of balance and harmony, volume and contrast. To say they are "up and coming" is banal. They have already arrived, with an Avery Fisher Career Grant in March, and a Cleveland Quartet Award. These phenomenally gifted string players have a seamless and remarkable awareness of each other - they remind me a lot of the Cleveland and Guarneri Quartets, and they are just beginning their greatness. The future of chamber, now in part in their hands, is bright indeed. An die Musik !

[@sarahkendall3313]

I could listen to this all day. How delightful this piece is preformed.

[@DanteAguilarsilentfisherman]

Wow! I am a cellist and this movement is so awesome. Also the first time I have heard this piece.

[@NedFlanders612]

Everytime I listen to this piece it reminds me of an old western book I read as a kid; Caddie Woodlawn.

[@user-sc8yz9pe5j]

She's the best violist for the American quartet I'd say. Although she uses weird fingerings(I wanna see her playing with the usual fingering), has a beautiful tone and internal tempo, which makes her solos very impressive. And also this quartet is well-integrated. Beautiful work!!❤

[@varroosis]
