I think this is the best recording of the "Jagdquartett" yet! Tempo isn't insanely fast, like most recordings, very Beethoven-esque as a matter of fact. And just overall, a variety of tone clarity and a clear understanding of the extended techniques along with the piece. Very mesmerising performance of the piece! :D

Sublime. What a remarkable performance. This seems to test the limits of the listener and the process of scoring itself as well as those of the performers. Thank you for making such extraordinary new music accessible!

How it's possible to play Beethoven and then this stuff here, is a mystery to me. Two infinitely distant galaxies. On one hand, the search for an universal language of beauty that can unite peoples. And on the other, the sad cacophony of a self-styled art screwed into its own frustrated narcissism and which speaks only to itself.

I think the problem is that you've misidentified one and therefore it doesn't fit. It's worth reevaluating this and then you'll see that it's in fact not only easy but obvious how a group who can play Beethoven can also play this
