This really is the finest rendering of the great emperor- Quartet that I have ever heard. This movement was adapted by Haydn for the Austrians for their National anthem until the fall of Austro-Hungary, when it was adopted by the Germans for their NA. Never to be confused with the nazi party!!!

@TheCourtwick But was it not Hitler who made Germany take the Austrian tune as he thought the anthem should be the same for all of "Germany", correct me if I'm wrong?

@moltoallegro19

You are wrong! This has nothing 2 do wth Hitler. Even Wikipedia got it right: "In order to endorse its republican and liberal tradition, the song was chosen for national anthem of Germany in 1922, during the Weimar Republic."

[moltoallegro19]

@skipinfo Thank you, I know that now.

wer spielt auf dieser aufnahme?

who is playing this piece?

[moltoallegro19]

Sorry for my late answer. It is the Caspar de Salò Quartet.

The world does not revolve around English. German, French, Danish, Dutch, Italian--these are fine, noble languages. I'm learning them myself--albeit my progress is relatively slow, I cannot wait to be able to converse with these people in their language. I suggest you do the same if you wish to understand their comments.

Haydn's epic masterpiece here is brilliantly performed!

Alles schön und gut. Super Melodie, danke an Herrn Haydn. Mit unserem Text ist es das beste Lied der Erde.

Gruß aus Deutschland! :-)

Not for the Austrians, but for the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. People forget that Austria was the ruling principle of the Reich for almost 400 years. The idea of Austrian statehood as opposed to "Germaness" is a very new one.

Ein schones lied!

WONDERFUL!

[11para35]

„Österreich-Ungarn, das war jenes Stück Land, das der liebe Gott Kaiser Franz Joseph anvertraut hatte.“

[11para35]

Da flatterten von

allen Gesimsen und Dächern aufgeschreckte Schwärme von Tauben auf,

leichter, bläulicher Pulverrauch wölkte und verzog sich, die Fahne senkte sich

und, aus dem knatternden Wirbel der Trommeln empor, erhob sich

als das stärkste Symbol jenes unvergeßlichen Vaterlandes der Kindheit

in herrlich genauem Zusammenklang der Instrumente mächtig, feierlich

und immer wieder erschütternd die begnadete Melodie des »Gott erhalte«

[11para35]

Und dann, während der Sargwagen langsam vorüberfuhr,

erklangen in die atemlose Stille der letzten Ehrenbezeigung Kommandorufe,

Gewehrgriffe und der Donnerschlag der Generaldécharge. 

[11para35]

viribus unitis!!

[11para35]

exzellent! !! Das war eine wuerdige Hymne!

[ningeinmartie]

Minunat!!!
