Very nice men, too. I had the privilege of attending an open rehearsal they held in the common room of my dorm at Harpur during the 1967-68 school year. Serious music, but very engaging with the students. At one point, while speaking to the students, David Soyer casually put his cello on his knee and strummed it. They stayed around after the rehearsal to chat. I played knock-hockey with Michael Tree (not sure he had played before). I was very conscious of not hitting his hand!

Amazing, real passion in that performance. Having done quite a bit of quartet playing and watching this always amazes me the psychic qualities you have to be able to put things like this together and just know what each other is doing.

@Deenis17 Best performance come Amadeus and Italian Quartet. Anyway, i'm agree with you. The opus 95 is the real opus maximus of LvB, along with op. 109 and op. 133

@keizerjoo How wrong you are my friend...

[Deenis17]

no 11 may be my all-time favorite quartet piece, but I gotta agree; this preformance doesnt realy bring the music out proper... at least not to me, (a bit too fast maybe?)

- cool video though anyway

@keizerjoo Your appreciation is very poor. What reasons do you have to say that? I hope they aren´t shallow...

[keizerjoo]

This quartet doesn't understand Beethoven at all. It is a very bad performance.
