In fact, check out the one at 2:24 with a repositioning of the stand. She makes way too much noise. She has some cello skills, but she needs to work on her sensitivity to the music and maybe plan ahead so these page turns aren't so frantic. Or, maybe that isn't thought about very much at the San Francisco Chamber Conservatory? Hard to say, it looks like the violist is pretty calm.
Bartok composed this work in 1926 & this fact should cause you to listen to it with more informed ears with clearer sensibilities.Understand it from that point of view before you harshly criticize with 2010 rhetoric which is just not even a valid way of hearing the music.
Under the new system I can only choose between 'Nice' and 'Not nice' to rate this exceptional music. We're all falling prey to 'The World's Got Talent'.
@proggoth It wasn't so much seeing it so much as its audibility. I know Bartok used a lot of percussive effects, but I am not sure that was in the score.
@DerangedRanger1 I am going to write a piece that calls for loud audible page turns. The score will even contain blank pages specifically for that purpose.
It's like finding Muse on the radio after hours of searching for hours through radio stations filled with nasally-voiced teenagers whining about love.
That's how unique this is. It sounds (I might sound like failing at sounding philosophical here) like it's telling the life stories of two lifelong friends. They share a lot of the same moments, but all in all, they're still completely unique from each other..
heavy-handed editing. poor bartok must be rolling. highly competent players though. anyone curious about the rest of the piece should check out accord quartet's version. 5 minutes longer, but seems shorter. smokin'!
of the 6 quartets composed by Bela Bartok this one is the shortest one, it was premiered in London in 1929, composed 2 years before and dedicated to the Philadelphia musical fund society, composed in a tonal conception, although it was written by the audition of the lyric suite of atonalist Alban Berg, the melodic motifs in which it is based are also too brief, it consists of 2 parts: moderato and allegro
Yesterday I visited a concert of the Hagen Quartett in Concerthall De Vereeniging in Nijmegen (The Netherlands). They performed this beautiful work from Béla Bartók. It was the first time I heart the Stringquartet no. 3 and I was so impressed. it is good to hear that in my favorite city San Fransisco this music is performed as well. I loved waching this video on YouTube!
I heard the Guarneri string quartet play this only about two hours ago, and I was FLOORED! I had never heard the piece before, and... Oh, my goodness!
But anyway, this sounds amazing! Way to take up the challenge of such an "unusual" piece!
Good for you blessed. If you can assimilate this piece, you can handle anything from the first half of the 20th Century. This is perhaps Bartók's most complex and beautiful piece. I've been listening to it for over 20 years and feel as though I've barely scratched the surface of it.
excellent upload

It's always great to hear the Hungarian master. This as well as his Concerto for Orchestra are two of my favorite pieces.

Bartok composed this in 1926--this face alone should make you listen to it in an all new way & with informed ears.

Most impressive thing about this performance is the cellist's page turn @ 3:43. With bow in hand no less!
