Stunning version ...... so sensitive. Thank you so much for beautiful rendering of this heart-breaking piece of music.

I love this rendition. Very lively. Other versions sound flat by comparison.

Now for my facetious comment. The Navarra Quartet, in this line-up, features Boris Johnson on 1st violin and Ed Milliband on cello. (Not really!)

@hanrichc You're right, they're "gie'in' it Laldi", as we say in Scotland. One isn't used to hearing early classical chamber music - Haydn particularly - played with such passion (no pun intended, given the subject matter).
This quartet's intensity is why I like to hear them play; I have particularly come to love their approach to Shostakovich.

Are they method actors too?

Gorgeous...didn't like it at all until I listened to it a couple of times. They certainly are saying something with this rendition...something special!
