Hey, I am very surprised to find this, it was a great and inspiring time playing with Frans, Ruña and Sam. Thanks for posting, very nice memories from my time in Amsterdam Conservatory. Many greetings, Isa
+Isa Juárez I'm happy you like this, it was a great find to listen to some music by Hendrik Witte, almost nothing by him has been recorded. Frans is a great promotor of obscure Dutch music indeed. Cheers! :)
Thank you very much for posting this. It's just the kind of thing that makes youtube so great: the chance to hear something really good that I'd never have discovered otherwise.
Beautiful piece. Absolutely lovely. Why are some composers so neglected? We all tend to pick "winners" because that is a prevailing cultural predilection. And of course, our desire for "revolutionary" outpourings can override the appreciation of true artistic merit. Thank you for posting this not so shocking piece.
Big quartet. I was finally really won over to it in the finale. Very easy to like first theme and then a welcome fugato. I also liked the scherzo with its hemiola rhythms (duplet rhythm in triple time -- something that Robert Schumann loved to do). On first hearing I was less convinced of the first two movements. Was the second movement a set of unnumbered variations? I wasn't sure. I guess I should hear it again.
Please watch this at the lowest quality only (144p) since it's just for the music, which is much more ecologically responsible than at a higher rate. Watching this at 240p (which is unnecessary for listening purposes), will increase the bandwith by double to almost tenfold! At 1080 the bandwith is augmented by a factor of 100! The use of digital technology accounts for 4% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, as much as the emissions from the world's truck fleet. Of that, a BIG part comes from livestreaming videos, mainly 3 sources : TH-cam, Netflix and porn. Let's enjoy this beautiful music by being aware and responsible, doing our little part in decreasing our carbon footprint and protecting this wonderful planet for the generations to come.

It's rare that I come across a composer that I've never heard of!. This piece is very worthwhile.
Beautiful Chamber music!
nice and blessed weekend, +olla-vogala!!
+이옥희 Thank you, I wish you a nice weekend too!
I wonder what your Thai pictographs mean? [Gracias, como siempre, de México]
This should be performed more often! It's a pity the composer is underrated.
+Mr. DSCH (ClassicalComposer09) Underrated is an understatement I think, haha. Rather, completely ignored!
Wonderful! I think it would be very enjoyable to perform!

The main body of the first movement is marked Allegro con fuoco. The opening Moderato assai is just an introduction.
The theme from the second movement reminds me of 'Es ist vollbracht' from the Johannes-Passion by Bach.

Sounds like Schumann to me!
Brahms-lite, but very enjoyable.
mike and dottie gray -- You mean, "Echoes of Brahms....and thoroughly delightful" ?
@@steveegallo3384 ... indeed.
Like a post romantic Schumann
