  • does your sister have a channel? being a violist myself, id love seeing more of her work!

  • @Salohcin8940, my sister is currently in art school majoring in glass art. Her channel is Hotglass89, but she only has one very old viola video, from when she was in 9th grade.

  • awesome!

  • Actually, the violist is my sister, and the 2nd violinist and cellist are brother and sister!

  • Well done!

  • This performance kicks some serious ass. Don't listen to the fruitcakes who say otherwise.

  • @violinist2552 Indeed a lovely viola sound.

  • You four are really good. 

  • You know about what this quartet?

  • more like shot-stay-commubitch

  • @RunAroundMusic I really love that someone can use words like "fucking awesome" about Shostakovich - no bullshit, I really do.

  • I don't think this is the best interpretation of String Quartet No.7 I have ever heard, but it's a piece of music I admire. I love the slow movement (can DS really still be mourning his first wife, who died six years before? It seems so).

    It was composed in the year in which he joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, in what I can only assume was an act of great irony.

  • @BbzzzZa Can you give your reasons for reacting to the piece in that way?
