[almond1915]

@mirasuu anything is worth a try!



[macskuvi]

Like-like-like!

[IXGamerWorld]

Fantastic Quartet



[ChoZoxKnightx]

Thumbs up if you think the violinist with hthe black hair reminds you of the lion from madagascar 2 with the huge black hair-do.

[soldemedianoche1997]

I think they feel the music, just look and listen....

[nicolaioterov]

4 people have borned without heart...

[Mattdef91]

Exquisite.

[Dragonhaxz]

Must listen to the Emerson play this though!!! Alban Berg is top notch but second to the Emerson String Quartet! Must listen!

[merkenstein]

@Dragonhaxz The "Emerson" plays it also fine, but a little bit too "sweet". I am a great fan of the Emerson Quartet.

But the ABQ - recording of Schubert is the reference!

[Dragonhaxz]

Have any of your heard the Emerson string quartet play this?

[cissou357]

Schubert est toujours bouleversant , quand il est joué par des musiciens, des vrais !

[Benj888]

This just made my respect for Schubert sky rocket. from before.

[BlondBlackGuy]

I love the synced headbanging!! :D

[Obtulkaa]

it´s wonderfull

[philipvanlidth]

Oxy151268 Nothing for which to apologize. The division was marvelously done and with great sensitivity to the structure of the music. Thank you for posting...

[ismDUKAGJIN]

6:05 - 6:44 ...death.

[oldpossum]

Oxy151268, thank you for uploading!

Getting prepared for tomorrow's ballet at famous Zurich opera house,

invited by my lovely ex-wife...

wow

[philipvanlidth]

@oldpossum I made my tenor operatic debut on that stage in 1986 and remember the house with great fondness. At the time Uwe Scholz was ballet director, and I can still remember his choreography of Mendelssohn's Octet in E-Flat Major and Stravinsky's Firebird, especially the pas de deux with two men, absolutely incredible! Hope you enjoyed the evening.

[oldpossum]

@philipvanlidth thanks, it was another stunning evening at the Zurich Opera House! Spoerli made a great ballet performance out of Schubert's most famous music.

Perhaps back in the late 80s, you have also gotten acquainted with Dr. Reichenbach, founder of the International Opera Studio.

[philipvanlidth]

@oldpossum I'm afraid not. At the time Marc Belfort was running that show with Thomas Blum as Music Director. Uli Peters did a lot of the drama work at the time. Dr. Reichenbach didn't show up at all during my one year tenure...

[ehta01]

Perhaps if you think less about your hair and more about your music, you may....

[keykarikikalinka]

it needs no words to describe a "feeling".

es braucht keine wörter um ein "gefühl" zu beschreiben.

[dabeethoven]

Me alegra que por fin un grupo de genios de la interpretacion puedan ver a schubert con tal excelencia... Grandes, y genio schubert

[souljaboy50505]

favorite part 3:17 Crazy bowing

[techcodude]

rofl at the hair

[LetzGetBIZET]

they are amazing! Ensemble is brilliant and such great commitment to the music!

[mawler357]

these guys are incredibly awesome. Its great to see how the communicate

[babohanish]

watching this makes me want to head-bang with them...

[AlUcArD92dRaCuLa]

diooos *_*

no tengo palabras

[gulisha520]

this is the best vision of schubert i think

[ancientmariner1984]

Beautiful. Give it distorted guitars and drums and you have some of the best extreme metal around. Most of the extreme metal artists are influenced by this genre of music.

[ZEHM89]

stone cold fact. I'm working on parts on guitar now actually. I don't know about Extreme metal though. keep the growlers out of it. It'd be more like nevermore.

[xulhartz]

cuatro musicazos que engrandecen una extraordinaria obra

[beethomozart]

the best of Schubert's 14 quartet's played by one of the best ensemble, the ABQ. despite its pesimistic tone it's certainly a page of unsurpassable beauty

[laresoldo39]

Its like a good wine.

Belo e precioso!!!!!

[ZeroX810]

great 2nd

[mirasuu]

do you think if i sport a comb-over like this violist I'll play as well as him?

[XxXSmileenXxX]

@mirasuu lloll oh yessss

[Viennese]

@mirasuu It's worth a shot.

[notliM16]

this piece is amazing but extremely hard...i am now working on it with my quartet and its hard for our violins to play it

[music880216]

So much energy! Great to hear AND watch!

[LietSayri]

This is so beautiful...thanks for sharing it with us!

[Tyannx]

Where can i download this?!?!

[vlnhoney]

i'm pretty sure that if any other quartet sat this way, they would fall apart from lack of communication. the Alban Berg Quartet can totally pull it off! very impressive

[4gznos]

that guy with the beard is ultimate awesomeness

[looksi]

amazingly beautiful. there is (unfortunatly) no way i could ever play anything like that as well as they do...

[sakurapeatey]

this camera work seems to be very goo, but i bet he hate cellist. i want to see what"s cellist's doing(since i'm going to play this as a cellist), but it doesn't show anything! OMG!! Any way they are so good! Fantastic!! Schubert must be happy.

[Lepigeonmasque]

thanks a lot for this video, i love this piece. Thank you very much

[brubratsche]

maravilhoso

[apollodionysus7]

schubert is so awesome!

[musicdivinemusic]

Great music, great performers and great camera work too, very original. Many thanks to the poster!

[AncientProphecy]

As a newbie in classical music, I must say that this group enlightened my taste in music. I never was quite picky on the groups I listened to, but now I have a bar to raise; and that bar is the Alban Berg quartet. It's too bad about their disbanding, though. D:

[IanCraigWilliams]

It is a shame to know that the Alban Berg Quartet is disbanding after a final concert in Buenos Ares during July of 2008. After the years of glorious, human music-making, they must go their separate ways. Another great loss in a modern age ... but the music shall live on.

Thanks to groups such as this, it is truly immortal. One can only thank them!

[kanterbeth]

This quartet displays superb ensemble, homogeneity of tone and articulation. Their interpretation of this Schubert work is appropriately dark and intense, yet also displays a Viennese flair and elegance in the lighter passages.

[andrewsfunk]

You give Schubert the dark power he wrote into this music.

[EverNewEverFresh]

thX, morON :)

[xXxSweetSurrenderxXx]

So much passion! its amazing! Being a musician for a living isn't easy, but it is incredibly worth it.

[angellyz]

thank you so much for posting that!

[BlackViolinist]

THE SHADOWS ARE AWESOME!!
