    If a singer tries to sing as high as the first violin, they'll shred their vocal chords!

    The only way to express how awesome this quartet is, is by writing a quartet about it!!

    I'm sorry but I'm a snob about this. There is only less than .05% of the US population who are true guardians of classical music, who loves it and studied it and are students of the music. It is a club not everyone can be a part of FOR SURE. And Shostakovich like Bach, like Beethoven, when performed this high a level is a religious experience beyond the understanding of the average listener. But this IS it, all right here... Music as religion. The best of living. I can die today.

    I think it's perpetuated by the strange compulsion to use orchestras that many rock artists seem to get when they become too old to jump around like Mick Jagger (Mick Jagger excluded of course. He still jumps around like himself :) Suddenly it's a case of "I've used rock musicians all my life but now here's my music played by an ORCHESTRA". As though that somehow elevates it to godhead. And many fans say "wow, this guy is the new Mozart",without ever having listened to Mozart in their lives.

    I'm glad you've spent some time discussing this. I cringe whenever I see a someone claim that "classical" (I guess they are referring to all western art music?) is so similar to their favorite genre, as if it somehow validates it. People seem to hold art music on a pedestal, happy to use it for their own validation, they'll listen to a movement of Shostakovitch, express their love for it then forget about forever. It's strange.

    Hitchcock directed this video as you can see by the suspense with the slowly deteriorating bow.
