Engelbert Humperdinck - String Quartet, Op. 164 (1920)

[@aramkhachaturian8043]

Came from his master piece Hansel and Gretel and sure enough his style shows off wonderfully here.

[@matthiasl.6551]

This is really good! I only knew Humperdinck as the composer of Hansel and Gretel. What a masterful use of the string quartets timbres !

@@hiyorioh -- I thought you knew, sorry! But Humperdinck stood firmy on the shoulders of brilliant Schwäbisch polymath whose name is for some reason never mentioned anymore: Dr. rer. nat.

Powerful work that never gets boring

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieses spätromantischen und fein komponierten Streichquartetts im veränderlichen Tempo mit seidigen Tönen beider Violinen, mildem Ton der Bratsche und tiefem Ton des Violoncellos. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt gemächlich. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch rhythmisch. Es gibt fast keinen Einfluß vom ersten Weltkrieg. Wunderbar vom Anfang bis zum Ende!

What a prodigious song thank you Engelbert Humperdinck this song is definitely to one's liking such as my own

[@thomaskendall452]

Beguiling and elegant! Thanks, Bartje!

[@MrBenjamatic]

The music is definitely pleasant and digestible but that name though!

[@steveegallo3384]

Then you'd probably pose a 'righteous objection' to the masterpieces of the polymath Schwäbisch symphonic genius, scholar and muse, Dr. rer. nat.

And Jan van Gilse whose piano concerto I uploaded today.

[@christophedevos3760]

Toch weer een componist die ik meer moet gaan exploreren. Bedankt voor de upload.

[@ghmus7]

wow

[@evansercombe]

Masterpiece? Likely not. Absolutely gorgeous and enjoyable anyway? Absolutely!
Thank you so much for sharing this very pretty piece!

[@bartjebartmans]

Question, why does everything have to be a master piece?

[@evansercombe]

@@bartjebartmans It doesn’t! That’s exactly my point :)
Not everything has to be a stuffy, lofty, hard to understand to be enjoyable, or to make a genuine impact on someone’s life!
(Personally, I find almost the entire concept of a “masterpiece” to be somewhat outdated and irrelevant to being with.)

[@yoavshati]

@@evansercombe That's my approach to composition! I don't have to create perfect masterpieces that will be seen as the best 500 years from now. I just have to make cool music that I like and hopefully others find it entertaining too
