The more I listen the more I fall in love with this performance. The nuanced playing and breathing space between phrases is amazing. This not a piece that plays itself and is probably different in every performance. When there are repeated notes each one gets just a little bit louder. And sometimes each repeated note gets just a little bit softer. They lean into the lovely dissonance by using no vibrato. They four players are so in tune with with each other (sorry for the pun) - they are checking in and ENJOYING themselves. I simply cannot say enough about this performance of this piece and it's wonderful impact on my soul
Introduced to this piece 2 years ago with none other than Caroline Shaw in the audience and perhaps conducting (if my memory serves) - fell in love instantly
I love it. It is real music you can enjoy and into which you get your intellectual teeth. Leaves a feeling of deep satisfaction. Accessible but mysterious. Lets have some more.
This reactionary pablum is precisely why American classical music deserves to die. It's music right at home in American capitalism. A true aesthetic harbinger of the Trump era.
Rendered me breathless and near tears. This work is beautiful, fascinating, and wonderfully played. It (the genius of the composer and the quartet players) made me hopeful about the future of classical music. If it is still not viral today, there something wrong out there.
Brilliant. I enjoyed this so much! Wow I'm so glad I discovered you, also, quartet, amaaaazing, wait! This was actually a string quartet!! Now that's what I call a good one, when you can't really tell nor does it matter. You all played with such emotion and passion, good job, also, violin n2 dude, your facial expressions are perf xD x
9:15 why am i still not hearing sadish cliche glissandos??? I'd go so crazy with them at that point, just to piss the haters ahahaha. Or just some melodic line consisting of long notes, perhaps in cello ?
I realise why this would look fragmented to someone, but it has perfect dream-logic to me. I compose in a sim manner. You abandon themes and motives, only to present a new material to which you later blend the same themes and motives and make a perfect gradient. I live dream-logic in music, rarely do I find it though!! Brilliant
Ahhhh Mrs/Miss Shaw, please contact me, I absolutely love your music and want to find out more about your influences. I totally dig this, it's not fragmented. At least not to my ear, it is a perfect blend of old and new, heard and unheard and I love your explorations of common archetypal (harmonic) progressions and the ways in which you make them your own. Mmm very sexy music!
@@Eudaimonia88 strangely enough, she did contact me, through you, when I needed her most. Wow. What alien music. What a geek and typical young knowitall composer I was. Now I'm just decomposing these days. Caroline. Plz contagdct me <3
Read the res of my comments. Indeed, old people are in trouble. She has the flare of 21st century while you still wallow in avantgarde of Ligeti and nonsense of 20th century. Bye old diploma ppl x
