Schubert Quintet in C, D 956 - 3. Scherzo / Trio - Zagreb International Chamber Music Festival 2008

[platmosic]

sometimes schubert stressed himself too much ... who in the right mind would write scherzi each over 8 minutes long? Him and only him lol

[Hamiltonharty]

@platmosic mahler, beethoven, dvorak, prokofiev, rachmaninov, tchaikovsky to name a few

[platmosic]

@Hamiltonharty the thing is that writing such long scherzi destroys the whole purpose of scherzi lol

[Hamiltonharty]

@platmosic oh yeah I know I got that but he wasn't the only one to do it, besides scherzo has come so very far from its meaning its almost pointless to call it a scherzo anymore. There isn't much joking about this one that's for sure

2:35  :)

[ursin1]

You are playing just brilliant

[Adri58]

Perfect



[PhysiqueQuantique]

Those grace notes at 1:16 and 1:26 always get me.

Giovanni Sollima is an awesome composer as well as cellist. Plug his name into the youtube search bar. Particularly, check out his Daydream, part 1.

i love the facial expressions

[Sviolinist]

Viola = spastic movement! There's such a thing as trying way too hard, y'know? All that movement just ends up throwing the bow pressure out of whack. If you have super good ears, listen to the viola part. You can hear what I'm talking about easily. Anyway, this is an awesome performance.

So lively...love it. This ensemble is on top of their game.

[marcvzzo]

THANK YOU

[Alexjr1543]

These guys all seem to really enjoy playing this as much as I enjoyed listening to it.

Especially the first violinist and the violist.

Wonderful performance. Really made me happy.

[belavedra]

@Alexjr1543 We don't see much of him, but the first celloist is particularly expressive too and seems to be responsible for much of the ensemble's communication... As you said, a joy to watch (and listen)

[glicitracan]

great performance! violinist didnt get the black memo. and 1st cellos bow arm is at sometimes next to his ear. couple of ensambel mistakes like at the end of the trio and the first violinist comes in a half beat too early at 4:54ish. but i love the violist!

[LNcello]

@glicitracan - 1rst cellist's bow arm: noticed that too - maybe because he tilts his cello to the left (rather than to the right)?

[mco130]

so beautiful!

[gerardmarlot]

très haut niveau d'interprètation: parmi les toutes meilleures

[rugbyplayer9999]

These guys truly seem to be thoroughly enjoying what they're doing. It makes the performance so much better. :)

[brezicaZG]

[ichiroku]

1:04 viola = beastly ensemble communication.
