Juilliard String Quartet plays Schubert for Carter

[jin12345678]

amazing.

[miker2001]

Elliott Carter is in awe!!! Yes, this is what music is supposed to sound like!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the entire Quartet literature if there were only 5 minutes to select there is no better than this most evocative of all quartet openings.. The Julliard chose well. Whether old Elliott gave a hoot is a differnt question. Pathos and humor combined.

This Schubert is amazing...do you know the opus number?

[dkuperman]

It's his Quartet for Strings no. 15 in G major, D 887/Op. 161 - the last one he wrote, and arguably his greatest.

An all new cast for this long-time admirer of the "old boys" of the Jullliard's past.. (Bobby Mann, Izzy Cohen, Claus Adam, and Raphael Hillyer)

A pleasure to hear Carter, the perrenial youngster, commenting felicitously. (I know he just turned 100)!

Isn't this the Schubert that Woody Allen used in his film "Crimes & Misdemeanors"?

Thanks for posting this!

Well, tremolo may be used as a sign for a precise rhythmic articulation, but it varies from interpreter to interpreter. It seems like Carter prefers that the tremolos aren't played exactly together by the musicians, in this case...

[powerofalto]

Thanks for the posting. Wow--Carter is dead on, whether or not he means to be. From my perspective, the lack of uniformity in the way that each player interprets the 32nds (some play tremolo, others play precise rhythmic articulations) speaks to larger differences in how they fit together the (wildly different) opening motives and ideas. There needs to be more attention to the underlying pulse--the musical gestures need to be informed by the pulse instead of forcing it to bend.

[EMPERORMIKI]

Correct.

[Amatiguarneri]

Joel Smirnoff sucks

[xmrbigglesworthx]

you're a moron...

[MurpheusElPadre]

It's Schubert's String Quartet No.15 in G, D.887. Thank you so much for posting this. I watched this clip on their website nearly two years ago and have never been able to find it again. Do you have more?

[ecmotherwell]

I'm afraid not at the moment - but I'll definitely post anything else that comes up!

[aztrolar10]

[TheGloryofMusic]

"Hey Jude" by the Beatles.
