  • Fine......but definitely too slow unfortunately. Especially the last movement. It needs to be played with vigour. It's the last movement. GO out with a bang!!

  • @stu19855 - You're probably right, but I can't quite agree with You. At 1st-we already play fast movements a bit faster than composer has wiritten in his score. And slow ones are a crumb slower to make difference.

    And Your "vigour" suggestion apparently depends on the concept of interpretation and form of the whole piece. Our idea was to make III mvt. as the central one. And even Glass has written the 4th movement as the most silent in dynamics (mp is the loudest dynamic).

    Question of taste;)

  • Skatījos un klausījos ar baudu - ļoti elegants izpildījums - gan vizuāli, un protams ka arī pats skanējums. Filipa Glāsa mūzika ir īpaša un izteikti oriģināla - būtībā, minimālisms un budisma mūzikas (ko ir pētījis Glāss, un kā dzirdams, ir atstājis savu neizdzēšano iespaidu) ritmika un tehnika, ļoti līdzīgā ostinato.

    Einārs

  • @Embut747 paldies par labajiem vārdiem! Par Glāsa mūziku varu tikai un vienīgi piekrist. Īpaša tā ir.

  • Malaci!

  • @ainarsbr1 paldies!

  • @stu19855 The tempo corresponds nicely with the Naxos recordings. I've heard the faster tempo's online and think they sound awful. Kudos to Redo, you guys sound lovely. Great intonation.

  • Perfect bowing, perfect vibrato

  • magnificent performance... great pitch and warm sound....

  • schön

  • Muy, muy bien!

  • i wish i had a quartet i could jam to all the time with some philip glass pieces :3
