String Quartet No. 13 in B-flat Major, Op. 130 , V movement : Cavatina. Adagio molto espressivo...composed in 1826, the supreme moment of Beethoven.

[MrToorollingstoned]

The most beautiful piece of music ever written ? Listen and decide for yourself.. This performance is amazing. Very sublime. Rivals the Emerson Strings version.

[juanmedina1169]

wonderful playing



[tamegomaith93]

1 person is an unstoppable madman completely out of control. Bravi!

[DoubleGauss]

I get goose bumps listening to this.

[hitler366]

Beethoven didn't compose this, it was GOD..

[maxreger100]

Affecting and sublimely played. Great to see Danny Avshalomov sounding as beautiful and sensitive as ever.

[scholes100]

This piece causes me to envision a profoundly beautiful sun shining through clouds. It reminds me of all things good: beauty, hope, peace, light, etc. And perhaps a restful place for Beethoven at last, with his Maker.

[pdxxx97266]

personally, i liked it when Alban Berg Quartet played it. 

[dom0s]

@pdxxx97266 they are the best in the world.

[SHINNIANLUX]

@dom0s

sure, for their grandmothers :-)

[dom0s]

@SHINNIANLUX Their grandmothers will be dead by the time you send them a message - i posted that 7 months ago i can't even remember it :L

[Bix12]

Gorgeous...simply breathtaking. The depth of Ludwig's genius transcends humanity...it belongs to the awesome vastness of the cosmos.

[abmsghost]

Wonderfull to see and hear people communicating and passing on the music of this towering genius:Beethoven.Humanity at its peak.

[ttt8699]

Beautiful! The Cellist looks like Larry Fine of the 3 stooges! (Who just so happened to be a fine violinist before joining the Howard brothers)

[ibonyun]

Like a patch of garden flowers swaying in the breeze.

[pbpeex]

violins doing a great job... great dynamic..

really well played

[humanpaintball88]

the American String Quartet really does a great job with this... The only other Quartet that can compete when dealing with this piece is the Juilliard String Quartet....

[cellotennis]

@humanpaintball88 - they play very well, but you could also keep listening around, maybe ???

[SHINNIANLUX]

@humanpaintball88

I don't agree, go to hear the Lindsay version please, or the Vegh version.

[John27346]

Beethoven wept over this.

[moldyoreo]

Beethoven wept over your mother.

[kissmyhole2]

Who let you in here? Guard!, escort this person to the door please.

[abmsghost]

@moldyoreo Idiot!

[abmsghost]

@moldyoreo What does cunt mean?

[abmsghost]

@moldyoreo "Idiot" is a psychiatric term describing a particular mentall ilness.You clearly suffer from this inherited malfunction of the brain.Meanwhile a friend explained me the meaning of the word "cunt". I realize now that you also suffer the Tourette syndrom.Look for therapy..there is always hope.btw.I wont come back here so dont bother to answer. ..waste of time..

[moldyoreo]

@abmsghost by the way, idiot is not what you say. it shares the root with idiom. the word means private, narrowminded - like you.

[hoolala35]

Thank you American String Quartet...

and of course...thank you Beethoven!

[tigerboy1966]

possibly humanity's greatest achievement

I've never heard happiness cry like this before :)

[bigbono12]

Someone once said this movement expresses an emotion similar to "gay melancholy", something akin to what you say "(sad) crying happiness".

[aoruca]

my uuuuuuuuuuuuncle :D

[whomakemefeel]

Genius piece indeed and its kind looks like he paint he's death slowly this piece so darkness and completely tragedy

[bw219007]

Probably one of the most, if not THE, most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. RIP LVB

[jfost18lsu]

btw this song was put on the voyager plaque that has since left the solar system destined for the stars

[telephilia]

@jfost18lsu Music of the Spheres, indeed!

[Tenorgeiger]

@jfost18lsu It's not a song.

[AristotleQuasar]

When will parts of the World learn that a song has words in it. This is a string quartet.

[jfost18lsu]

amazing

[hlobbi]

WOW, beautiful! *****
