Yes, the major instrument of Vaughan Williams was the viola. He took it up as a child and played it in orchestras. That’s why he wrote so well for strings.
A complex and weirdly beautiful work. This is not a piece I would have thought had been written by RVW. But I wonder if it must be reflective of the war given it was written in 1944. Thank you.
Your videos are great and I would like to repost your channel exactly on a nice platform named Gan Jing World. If this sounds interesting to you, please respond to me. Many thanks!
Finally a badass viola who's saying: "I'm here to stay - live with it!"
The viola really gets a lot to do here! The scherzo has it doing the melody a fair amount too

I love this work. Dark, melancholic and moving.
Thank you for this. What a strange piece.
Very nice string quartet, thanks.

From just the first movement, it reminds me of some of the 'weirder' symphonies. No. 4, for example? At least on the surface.
love-love this
