Really wonderful performance!!! Great build-up to the col legno...so many performances have lost steam by that point, but there was true intensity here. Very powerful!

This is, simply stunning. Bartok played with abandon, passion and fearless accuracy. What great artists you are!

Incredible performance, the energy in the opening nearly blew me off my chair!

apocalypticaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The music portrays the cavalry combat involved in defending Vienna from the Turks, by Bartok's own words, but, at any rate, sure as hell does not sound "live"...

Annoying dissection of music aside,
Simple good old fashioned genius here. Not the pretentiousness of the avant-garde, nor the tired classical-Mozart cliche, just a gripping genius that grabs you by the lapels and yanks you into a fast-paced thrill ride the likes of which you've never felt before.
Only piece that has ever left me so exhausted, yet so satisfied!

I've heard this song played by five quartets so far, and every single one (including this one) sounds completely unique. They almost sound like different songs altogether. I haven't heard any other composer get so much variety out of a single work (except maybe John Cage XD). Perhaps it's Bartok's emphasis on the importance of the sound, or maybe his innovation with the usage of strings, that make subtle changes in implementation become massive changes in sound and feeling.
Likely response:STFU!

This is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!! I must play this.
Great Job!
Simply amazing recording and performance. It doesn't sound live. It must have been well manacured at the "post production" studio. And what a masterpiece the 4th is...

Thank you for your comment. The Zwiebel String Quartet is playing. We are from Slovakia and this video is a live recording from Bratislava Music Festival concert in 2005. All the best from Andrej
