GOOD JOB JOEEEEE
-
very good technically. Absolutely no emotional connection. That is difficult to do with this piece. I have played it and directed it many times.The emotion is just as important as the technique.
-
i played this with my chamber orchestra, listening to it is only second to playing it. the atonality and dissonance is so beautiful, in such an amazing way. the sound and feeling swells up and then just bursts in the most beautiful way. Great job with this performance, i've played in quartets before and the members seem very cohesive as a group, so glad you posted this!
-
I would love to own this version
-
very sound technique-wise, but i think there needs to be more energy to make it exciting.
-
@jjyooo11 thats how the second movement ends. it goes onto the 3rd emenantly
-
@ 6:34 - one of the most hair-raising moments in all the quartet literature: the eruption of delirious Jewish folksong material out of a roiling chaos...very exciting performance; I'd like to see the/hear Quartet that won.
-
i think theres too much resonance in this hall for the second movement to sound good. just an opinion.

Music is about the performers' interpretations. Shostakovich had nothing in the score that said 'No vibrato'. Stop acting all-knowing.

Good point. but this recording is wonderful anyways. the added noise fuzz, the low volume and extreme echo give it a ghostly timeless feel. Like walking through war torn Stalingrad at night in the rain after a miserable day at the front.
