Béla Bartók: String Quartet No. 5 (1934), I

I. Allegro
My personal favorite of Bartók's six string quartets. Like many of his mature works, the quartet is loosely in an arch form, three fast movements with two slow movements in between. It's a masterpiece of formal symmetry and balance in more ways than one.
Luminous 1963 recording by the Juilliard String Quartet. Art by Wassily Kandinsky.

No classical musician, not even Schoenberg, deserves to be denigrated by comparisons to metal.

Reminds me a lot to the last years of Beethoven.

oh i was also set to listen to this and the cocktail napkin image ruined it for me

Bartok is such a genius. no 5 is also my favorite.
-
I have the Tokyo SQ recording as well, and it's a very well played, but it's as if they're not able to let go enough, emotionally, to fully convey the frenzy of the two outer movements of this quartet.

I would add Debussy, Stravinsky, Sibelius, Shostakovich and Britten to your list of greatest 20th Century composers.
