Well done! The Bridge Sextet is a fantastic piece, and you really did the movement justice. The cyclic references to the first movement's second subject were very clear, the tempo in the central scherzo section was very effective, and you had nicely dramatic dynamics. The mood of lament was caught perfectly. Bravo!
Next time you're looking for material I suggest you examine the sextets of Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Egon Kornauth.
Thank-you for the kind words! Currently we're working on Gliere's sextet no.3, but the Korngold sextet is on our list of future prospects. Kornauth's sextet is unknown to me, but sounds intriguing. My Googling efforts so far are fruitless, however. Do you know where (CD, sheet music) this piece could be found, for further study? Where/how did you learn of it?
I'm truly astounded that you guys can play like this. You really look passionate about this piece ,but at the same time willing to let yourself have fun. Bravo! I'm really looking forward to what you'll play next.
Thanks sciz, it's nice to hear that! Our projects tend to stretch out over time, both because we enjoy the voyage, and because the majority of string sextet literature isn't exactly written for amateurs. But we'll keep trying! :-)
Bravo, a fantastic performance! The best Doro video so far, although your Brahms is also very good. It looks like you are also the first to play this Bridge sextet on YouTube! It's rather rare that an amateur club is actually specializing in string sextet music... I'm envious, you must be having a lot of fun together. Looking forward to more, keep it coming!
Sextuor a cordes magnifique... composition et l'ensemble aussi... !

thank you kindly, it is true we are having a good time :-). We're currently trying hard to get the rest of the Bridge sextet presentable.
