A really virtuosic performance - brilliant, hilarious (the banjo runs had me rolling around in hysterics). It just shows that such fabulous music can speak for itself regardless of how it's presented. Well done guys, fantastic effort.
I'm impressed at how little vibrato Mr. Fiddler is using. Are you familiar with the historically authentic perfomance practice of Mozart's time? If not, you have some very intuitive instincts for the music of the period.
I love when folk/bluegrass violinists play classical music. Yo-yo ma said he learned a great deal of playing with edgar meyer and mark o'connor (so much he re-recorded the bach suites) and this is a great example of that.
All of them are amazing musicians. I love hearing them play classical! It sounds awesome! :)

I am a violinist and the Amadeus Quartet are my idols, but this is one of my favorite
performances of the G major finale. Righteous!

If somebody wants to play classical music with arrangements, with popular instruments or what else, THIS is the way. Very good! I like it.

Bela Fleck won a grammy doing a whole album of classical on banjo (Perpetual Motion). Thile also played on that album

PBSQ - Punch Brothers String Quartet. Maybe they should play the Edgar Meyer string quintet with Paul Kowert.
Wonderful coda, wasn't it?

Please, make a CD of a bunch of "old fogie" music gone blue-grass (ish)...this is amazing!
Our quartet is looking at doing this piece, and seeing this has really made me appreciate all the talent.

I actually find it somewhat astounding that this video doesn't have five stars overall rating. This is something really amazing.
