The Danish String Quartet plays Beethoven's Quartet Nr.10

[@tombristowe846]

I agree with all the comments below and would like to add one more bit of praise. This is, for me, how a quartet should be filmed. One camera , in the middle, so we can see all the players, all the time. I find it exasperating when the camera work is given to someone who thinks it's their job to make it more visually exciting, with about seven cameras and a change of angle every 10 seconds or so.

[@michaeljamesdesign]

That's because they're too used to filming pop bands whose teenage audience has the attention span of hamsters.

[@geerthuys6166]

I've listened to all their interpretations of Beethoven's String Quartets, and the DSQ has become by far my favorite quartet! Beautiful, vibrant, clear interpretation. Top notch!

[@bertrandmarotte4401]

Same

Thank you, SO, SO, SO, SO VERY MUCH, for sharing this GENEROUS PERFORMANCE, from these artists who listen to one another, with such openness and LIGHT!!!!!!! How I needed to be uplifted by their GIFTS! THANK YOU, DANISH STRING QUARTET!!!!!!!!

[@frankstein9982]

I see the DSQ rotate the first violin. Excellent quartet!

8:19 One of the most exciting moments of all Beethoven quartets

[@garfreed]

So magnifient!

[@mariocarrocomposer]

I agree. This final section is unreal, amazing, unbelievable.

[@pauldeck4500]

Strikes fear into the heart of the amateur violinist. Like me ...

[@johnvanalstine9645]

Most composers would have milked this section for all it was worth. Beethoven just builds the tension and then leaves you wishing it had lasted longer. But he had shown his mastery, so he moved on.

[@ultimateconstruction]

​@@johnvanalstine9645One of 262+ reasons why Beethoven is the greatest composer of all time. Most (romantic) composers when they stumble across a beautiful passage they composed would just make use of it to soothe their pride by repeating it 47 times to show that "look, this bs, i mean, this section you've just heard is composed by me me me and no one else". Beethoven is higher than that.

[@bianchiviolin]

I love the balance. No one plus three or two plus two here. Exciting foursome and the fast tempos in the last movement particularly solved a lot of problems.

[@pamelafrancis4476]

great recording facilitates this of course.

[@robinelliott5365]

Just watched ten performances of the "harp" ending of the first movement with the concertante first violin passage work, and this is the best. So effortless, exacting, and exciting! Superb performance.

[@TedKitzis]

I sat there slowly shaking my head back and forth in amazement. I love the last three mvts as much as the first, and you all are supreme in all of them.

[@praaht18]

Oh, dear. This is world class.

[@igortkachenko97]

wonderful playing! This is Beethoven at his best

[@michaelattewell2476]

Skilled, sensitive, I'm sure Beethoven would have been pleased - good recording too.

[@michaels7889]

This is by far the best recording of op 74 available on KZbin, the performance everything on might wish. It is reminiscent in several ways of a recording by the Australian quartet many years ago. I have now listened to it several times.

[@zinam5795]

They're very good .... Great rendition, bravo!

[@dimasvenancio709]

This piece is Awesome! The performance unique! Thanks for sharing!

[@profViolino]

Incrível, né? Que som lindo os caras têm... você sabe que viola ele usa? vi um foto dele com uma que parece Maggini mas é menor que essa aí (parece 41 ou 42)

[@dfccmd]

Second movement 9:47 Third 19:58

[@quartetpromusica9161]

Impeccable! Bravo!

[@Ian24s]

Love these guys

[@TedKitzis]

I just have time for the first mvt right now but you guys are pluckin phenomenal. thx

[@marichristian1072]

Thrilling pizzicato in the Allegro!

[@margareteast5670]

Awesome ensemble! They play as one, not four! Bravi!!😍

[@barney6888]

Quite splendid! I was amused that people went to the 1st mvmt coda on the timing. It's such a great moment you can't fault them. God's love on our beloved LvanB.

[@gorogorotodoro]

Wonderful ❤

[@richardagins871]

This is a beautiful, sensitive performance. Bravi!

[@shulasarner5363]

8.36 on=best moment ever to be a second violin :-)

[@peterburandt4586]

No elaborate word salad will do justice to this fantastic ensemble. From now on I will just copy and paste one word: "EXQUISITE"!!... after all of their performances.

[@florencerozenbaum2315]

Exceptionnel!

[@ВиталийРябчук-м7с]

Очень нравится этот прекрасный квартет!

[@jeff2446]

Несравненно! Играют как одно сердце. Слушала затаив дыхание.Благодарю!

[@demetriucsnightshadeonyout877]

great music

[@debora49097]

Such sensitivity in their overall sound. They blend beautifully.

[@simotuke]

素晴らしい演奏ですね。なぜか涙が溢れて来ました。テンポの切れの良さ、感情表現に長けていて、カペー弦楽四重団を思いだしました。

[@jimp4170]

8:20 - 8:58 could be the best half-minute + in all of music.

[@class6853]

You may be right - drama flowing seamlessly into a resolution - that‘s a great example of perfection

Many of Beethoven's melodies are folk melodities and should be played with the jollity of folk music.

[@johnjorgensen4488]

fascinating !

[@jeromeweingart5596]

Lovely performance in an acoustically supportive hall.

[@ГалинаСоболева-щ8б]

Великолепное исполнение квартета!

[@JohannesBrahms-1833]

nice

[@tomboyer5608]

In general, the recordings of a generation ago don't measure up to the standards of today's best players. But for me there's one exception -- the Guarneri Quartet's middle Beethoven, recorded in 1968, is still definitive for me. The playing is flawless, there's a great balance of crispness and lushness, and the tempos were just right -- lightning speed when Beethoven wanted it, but patient when the music calls for it. I think the first movement here is just a little too impatient -- they're going at 167 beats per minute and, though they articulate very well, some clarity is lost at that tempo. Right tempo is around 158. And they rush the rests. These are some of the greatest quarter rests Beethoven ever wrote and they need to be appreciated, not rushed. This is a really nice performance, the Danish are incredible technically, they are one of the great quartets in the world. But this performance is a little bit glib for my taste.

[@tombristowe846]

Cleveland Quartet ?

[@eddymiche]

quatuor joué avec un réel brio, sans effort, sans épuisement, il me semble que le Danish String Quartet se consacre réellement à la musique

[@olivierdrouin2701]

A mon sens , allegro nettement trop rapide

[@johnryskamp2943]

A bit too fast and too loud. They're playing for a big room, when the piece was written for a small room. At times they skim, not technically, but musically. Always remember that Beethoven is about reconciliation.
