Just to clarify, this is the second of Brahms' piano quartets, the one in c minor. It is his Op.60. This video is a performance of the first of the work´s four movements.

Still the very best recording of this great music! Thank you.

I'm not talking about the camera jerking around; I'm saying that Cecilia is, like a puppet, because the recording has been doctored in order to make her trills appear faster than they are.

Biggs also recorded this piece (out of print, unfortunately) in what I think is a much better venue: using two Flenthrop organs played at the Busch Museum at Harvard. That recording allows you to hear every single note clearly, along with the location of each instrument, coming from left and ri...

Yes, I am billinrio "from demonoid" (as well as other places on the net).

Excellent! I dont' understand the Russian, but since its the Kapris Quartet, it must have been recorded in Kiev.

It appears to be at the RUNDALE PALACE in Latvia.

Gould didn't like this piece. He didn't like the "Appaxionata" Sonata (no.23) either. He says so in the LP jacket notes he wrote for his recordings of them. He doesn´t explain why, since he disliked them so much, that he recorded them. Some people speculate that he was pressured into it by h...

Its not "gossip". Gould's dislike for this piece is well documented. I have his recording of it on LP, and he wrote the jacket notes, most of which are dedicated to his explanation of why he believes that this sonata is an uninspired failure. The same comments are reproduced in the book "Conve...

Parabéns. Muito bom. Não custaria nada afastar a câmera um pouco para a gente poder ver a mão direita.

Its curious that so many people who comment on YouTube choose call any music, whether sung or not, a "song". I wonder why?

Anyway, this is a fine post-romantic work. For the record, Langsamer Satz (Slow Movement) dates from 1905 Webern intended to write an entire quartet but put it aside afte...

I agree that the 1954 performance, released on LP but never on cd, is amazing. Note that here that even in 1962 one sees only a few women in the BSO: the flutist, Doriot Anthony, who broke the gender barrier of the BSO in 1952, one cellist, and one harpist.
