  • What in the world are you babbling about??? Have you looked at ANY major quartets other than Emerson in the last 65 years? I can name 6 major international ranked Quartets with at least one woman, several are entirely women. I have also had more women teachers in my 15 years of playing than men, and IMO their better teachers. Please stop flooding interesting videos with the mindless banter I keep seeing and do more research before you throw crazy thoughts out of your head.

  • Fascinating,thank you for posting.

  • @Shoebappa1 What does this mean? Has any meaning what you wrote?

  • @jsbad1 You made an excellent point with this post. The new instruments are being made just as well as the old instruments. The sound is just as good as any Stradivarius.

    But they don't provide the emotional satisfaction of playing on 300 years of history; particularly history with a name attached. If I had the chance to play Shostakovich's broken kazoo I'd do it.

  • @IOMERDOSOIO More natural sound, blends into the stereo image nicer.

    

  • Only Emerson. Beasts..

  • estos tios son unos capullos bacilando de instrumentos...venga ya al carajo...por muy rapido que lo toqueis no gana en interés....15 o 20 versiones muchisimo mas interesantes.....

  • completamente infantil, estupido e innecesario, es solo un capricho moderno, es que no hay mas colegas???no hay mas quartetos?? por que la musica se toma como un deporte, que no es un deporta capullos!!!!, fatal..una americanada.....para esto está claro que europa lleva mucha delantera....mendelsson burger.....
