What is the painting ? It's very beautiful (the music too af course).

@catchoupiote I know! I'm dying to know what it is as well. The music of course is simply brilliant.

The rest of The Mighty Handful were horrified that Borodin (of any of them) would write anything as old-fashioned as a string quartet, but this one not only honors the past, but sets a new standard for its successors to aspire to. Few since have come close!

This music is the real heir to the classical tradition. The Mighty Handful wrote seriously beautiful music.

great chamber music!
