Mahler & Schnittke: Piano Quartet in A minor (Gidon Kremer)

[@mulcio2500]

After this beautiful piece I will pay more attention to Mahler, apparently this is his only piece for a quartet pity, this one is so sublime. From here to the heavens

[@forcedemodo]

Mahler's music is like peering into another world, one full of hope but in total solidarity and loneliness, a reflection of reality that can go above and beyond our mortal shackles.

[@BergmansChild]

This is one piece of perfection... More perfect it can't be....

[@dbsk06]

the cello is really what makes this piece

[@fabriziosilvi6110]

Non potremo mai ringraziare abbastanza Mahler per questa sua composizione

[@OmegaYkaros]

MEIN GOTT! This is freaking awesome!

[@mmbmbmbmb]

Thank you for this pearl! ☆☆☆☆☆

Usually I prefer more or less modern classical music like Schnittke’s for example and Maxim Rysanov with friends as always performs it marvelous! But recently at onyxclassics site I found his new records in a trio. There were Maxim Rysanov (viola), Kristina Blaumane (cello) and Jacob Katsnelson (piano) and they were performing Beethoven’s works. I can tell for sure that such a beautiful music I’ve heard just few times before in my life!

Mahler also wrote a transcription for string orchestra of "Deaht and Maiden" quartet

Mahler: "This is not what I intended. And that is OK."

[@tracemckenzie2009]

Gustav Mahler is one of my favourites

[@xavierbordes1373]

Quel dommage que Mahler ne nous ait pas laissé sa musique de chambre et que les archives de Dresde aient été détruites par la guerre... Il y a tant de génie même dans ces oeuvres de jeunesse... Bouleversantes. Assez triste que les humains ne sachent qu'emm...der les génies qui oeuvrent parmi eux et les trouver insupportables et "non-conformes".... Quelles pertes pour l'humanité entière !

I never realized GK played with a crutch. I thought he was strictly old school.

[@AssassinsCreedHalo]

I can't understand why kremer's playing so loud , can someone explain me this ? It's the same thing he did in the Mozart concerto no.5 , looks like he wants to be a soloist , a rock star .

[@dingbat999]

[@MrOtorongo]

Engaging. Thanks.

I'm not an expert, but I feel that something is not working well on this interpretation. It isn't bad, but what could be missing to be perfect?

[@regenliedsonate129]

to the mahler part: have the same feeling. They are all fantastic musicians, of course, but I consider the interpretation as not "mahlerish" enough, means that it is often to directly, strong and too little lyrically. It does not have the typical melancholic "weltschmerz" Additionally the intonation is often ... not perfect ;) And to Schnittke: I think his style simply doesn't fit into a Mahler piece. It's to comedic. Maybe that was what you meant :)

[@MarkHatlestad]

Felix Mendelssohn I think it's mostly the mic placement.

[@danielzarb-cousin8074]

+Felix Mendelssohn comedic? what?

[@Igneous01]

Usually Kremer does a fantastic job on Schnittke's works... But the last movement was played terribly. The dynamics were horrible, no texture, and the pianist played with extreme blurryness. And why does Kremer insist on being the loudest even when the viola and cello play their solo's? Not as good as the avro klassiek performance.

[@borismateev767]

First 10 minutes are great then it sounds like the instruments are dying. Ear r*pe

[@nimrodkadish]

Mahler's part is great, it's just the other movement that's awful

[@nimrodkadish]

i hate it when people say "mahler and Schnittke", as though Schnittke actually contributed something to this piece. he took a wonderful quartet and ruined it! he should've left the piece with only one movement as it was!

[@OmegaYkaros]

Said the pseudo-classical fan...

[@Odin355]

You pseudo human being

[@Amcgery]

It's hilariously awful music... hysterically bad. I've never heard anything quite so terrible and I've listened to many 20th century compositions.

[@TyeWeav]

But isn't that the point? Schnittke finished the Scherzo that Mahler gave up on; A Scherzo is a musical joke.
