Beethoven - Große Fuge, op. 133 (Takács Quartet)

[KrankyFW]

The most extraordinary work of music I have ever heard.

JenD1844, The work does not seem to be well known. A bit of research led me to the (self-authored) Wikipedia page of Victor Victori. The artist uploaded it onto Wikipedia and left it hanging on the Beethoven article until it was removed by other editors. The creator of this video probably found it there.

What's that painting at 1:37 and who is the painter? Where can I find this?

It rips at my soul... and yet I've never loved anything quite so much.

It's difficult to hear all the notes at this tempo. I prefer it slower, when the ugliness can settle.

Speed of light

Solid recording. Takacs makes this brisk tempo work. Their articulation is truly excellent. For a somewhat contrasting, but equally admirable interpretation, check out the Vermeer Quartet's.
