I think it is one of the fundamental questions in all classical music, and I think you answer it about as well as words can. Brahms is to me the most abstract of all composers but he still gets the pathos and lyricism in there. And man can these guys play it! (Guys in the vernacular only, you understand.) Thanks to all.

Wow! my friend you just swallowed the english dictionary and it came out your shit flute. What you said makes near enough no sense. Read it again. You say confirm so intuitively bla bla. Unless you meant conform.

@@klauspeterkraa1881 I guess that the vulgar max bevans was responding to Ralph Berney but did not have the wit to place his comment properly.

Yes - the cellist is a little too strong in the mix and the piano sometimes not strong enough - she plays so well and the role is not as "accompanist". The camera work implies that subordinate role too. But a small quibble as they interpret this great piece so well!

Second that. A favorite Brahms piece. It gives me tears.

C Bentler That’s actually not true. When good chamber musicians have an entrance together they make eye contact, which makes timing a lot easier. When you are alone, you have to be as rhythmically accurate as possible - especially in a piece where the tempo is constantly changing speed, this presents a much larger challenge.

@@maps600 Which reminds me: I rarely saw the cellist turn a page of music on her stand and I wonder if she had the entire work memorized. That would not surprise me because as both a flutist and pianist I always memorized the entire work before I would play it before an audience.

Kids say the darndest things.

"I know nothing about music" would have been a much more elegant, concise version of your statement.

Gee, i tried to find the masterpieces written by plinthesky, but must have missed them

FWGOTHAM I assured you, no kids would have made such statement or even if they are, they will be actually seriously listen before even come close to that conclusion. While, I too, will have to disagree, the overall quality of your people comments make me sick.

piinthesky “The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I feel it's not beautiful? And very shortly you discover there is no reason.”

egb1967 One hundred percent in agreement with you. To call these musicians morons is to show oneself a boor.

Matjaž and Maruša are from Slovenia. They studied chamber music as postgraduate students in Munich. Munich is their alma mater for chamber music. Katarina has german roots and she is from Ukraine. They are among best performers in Europe. They all play in first rate orchestras!

zevnikov "They are among best performers in Europe." I was able to work that out for myself!

It just skips the repetition of the exposition section.

This is the only critical comment about a classical music performance on the whole of RU-vid that calls it right. She does make a minutely tardy entrance. The tempo is much faster than my preference, but fast tempi are common these days. Not the finest ever, but still, it's a beautiful performance.

+max bevans How is the music 'interesting'? How did you reach that conclusion? If you have reasons, they can be explained thoughtfully and analyzed. Which is what these twats are doing, hence the pointlessness of this post.

Cock cheese aka stilton my friend.

Come on. You are snob. Can you for once enjoy first class musical experience? Can you listen and watch with honest heart and bright soul?

There is no need to be rude. You are welcome to your opinion and I am allowed to express my own.

John Mueter Dear Mister Mueter, I just did what you suggested and listened to the only Beaux Arts rendition of this Brahms jewel. It was played twelve beats slower than the one by the young musicians (128-116). Brahms requires Allegro (com moto) so at least 120. Beaux Arts starts out at Allegretto. Perhaps you like the slower pace. I enjoy this piece more at the tempo it was played in this video. I cannot explain why, and perhaps explaining is irrelevant. However, if you bring the qualification student level, it comes across as unripe, lacking, artificial, at least to me. If my associations with your qualifications are not your intent, please take me by the hand and show me where it shows that these musicians have a way to go. They would probably agree with you they have a lot to learn still, but please show the RU-vid audience of which I am but one, where we can hear the difference with renditions that you would agree are virtuoso. I think classical music appreciation would benefit and musicians would not be putting in all of their effort in vain if the audience can competently take the measure of their mastery. Please give us three hints where this trio has space to grow.

How about the Casals, Isaac Stern, Myra Hess performance at the Prades music festival, that is the version I grew up with and have always loved. Is that performance good enough for your elevated tastes? In spite of having been raised on the "best" I love this performance, its is wonderful, great tone, fine interpretation, lively. Good grief, Music is not a perpetual &^%$# contest to see who is the winner. Sometimes it is possible to simply enjoy beauty without classifyings its exact degree. Oh the internet, there is always at least one provocateur with nothing better to do. I'm certain that its an "accomplished" group these provocateurs.

we do not know if they were any time pressure (or the video has been edited) so if the ommissions were (as suggested above) of repeats I can forgive them
