Probably the most emotionally powerful rendition of this magnificent Quintet that I have ever experienced .For me, the greatest string quintet ever written. I am indebted to you .
I disagree with the criticisms. Who cares about the rules? The story they tell with the very dramatic sound pictures is breathtaking and very beautiful! I enjoy it very much. ❤❤❤🌷🌻🎻
The complexity and precision of classical compositions showcase the masterful skill of the composers. The intricate interplay of instruments, the meticulous attention to structure, and the depth of musical expression reveal a level of craftsmanship that is both awe-inspiring and humbling.
Here you can hear a world-class string quartet (quintet) who feel the sensitive compositional understanding of Franz Peter Schubert. He is and remains the master of the song and you can hear this reference in every piece he has composed. The Dover Quartet is reminiscent of the legendary Guaneri Quartet and the equally legendary Melos Quartet. The special thing about you is your feeling of harmony with each other, especially that of Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt. You have to have heard them in a small group at a live concert, as we were able to experience, and you will understand what it means when the instruments merge and make the listener levitate.
Strepitosa interpretazione del quintetto in Do di Schubert, che personalmente considero la summa della capacità artistica e creativa dell'essere umano.
Maravillosa obra de càmara de Schubert. De las más grandes escritas jamás, junto a los quintetos Kv 515 y 516 de Mozart y los últimos cuartetos de Beethoven. Exquisita versión de The Dover String Quartet. Schubert en estado puro.
thanks for sharing this wonderful performance. great audio and video, they did a good job of hiding the microphones. Milena adds so much beauty that without her it would far less interesting to me.
Two cellos, only one cello and double bass, a string orchestra with four cellos, two double bass, ten violins and six viola. This master work admits diferentes versions and diferent aproachs witout loosening his dramatic character.
The Dover has become my favorite contemporary quartet, and with their guest cellist, and here they play the C Major Quintet beautifully. My only criticism of this video is with regard to the overhead shots: I found them to be jarring and disconnecting distractions with no redeeming benefit.
I agree, the music and interpretation, absolutely sublime. But hey, photographer, why all these completely aimless and random changes of cameras and shooting angles. At 1:52 you have the ideal. Keep it there, do not change. I want to focus on the music, I need not know that you have put a camera in the ceiling. Sorry, after a while I gave it up, too distracting.
Completely agree. The performance is truly wonderful. But the camera angles - yes, absolutely. Especially at 52:00 - that part is so nostalgic. Definitely should have a camera angle showing the full ensemble at that point IMO.
No downward slides in Schubert, please. It's about charm, not schmaltz. However, slides going up to the pitch are okay. The downward slide was an effect created by Enescu and to great acclaim, but it belongs to the time period of Debussy and going forward. Slides going down denote a sigh. Thank you very much for doing the repeat. This is far better than the Emerson quartet. I have a real problem with one of their violinists who plays consistently out of tune. No matter what piece they are playing. It ruins the entire group. Perfect! Intonation is the first requisite of great artistry and I've always known that fact, but it was also said by Mr Gingold during one of the masterclasses. Only the Budapest Quartet exceeds this recording. I would say remember to keep the heartbeat steady when you don't have the melody. Don't fudge around with the tempo because there is no marking to slow down in the middle of trying to make a phrase. That's creating the phrase where it doesn't exist. Playing sans vibrato doesn't really work when you're trying to convey charm. That "note blanche" concept did not come into classical music until about 50 years later after this quintet was written. The sf's should be done with a full bow but very fast and with very light pressure on the stick. It should create a "woosh" instead of an attack, but you did neither. Your 16th note before the half note needs to be crisp and short and at the tip. There are other comments I have but I'm going to stop here. Suffice it to say that if I've listened to it, it's very good.
