  • Barshai+Viola=genius

  • This is so great! Some violas just hack through this thing as quickly as possible with no dynamics and no musicality (presumably to prove they are just as good as violinists, darn it!). This piece is so brilliant, it's a crime not to take your time and savor it!

    Spectacular playing, in terms of the viola, and general musicality!
