The best sounding Viola in the 21th century ( and player )
Brilliant chamber music
I agree. Amazing rich sound with a real heart and a lovely confidence.
I agree. I've never heard a more beautiful viola. Since he's the principal violist of the Berlin Philharmonic, I guess one would expect him to have an exceptional one.
loving the viola solo in the beginning
Beautiful! I see I am not the only flutist who likes playing string quartets.
Kath Terry any other recommendation for string quartet a flutist can play?
Wow the flute fits right in there... And she plays amazingly. This is so good.
Amihai is the best!!!!!
I never thought I wanted a flute quartet arrangement of Dvorak until now.
This is still my favorite thing on TH-cam, and I would pay to have copy of it that I can keep forever. Wonderful....I'd like to be able to show this to my grandchildren.
0:20 1. Allegro ma non troppo
7:26 2. Lento
14:48 3. Molto Vivace
18:46 4. Finale: Vivace ma non troppo
Thank you
The flute player is amazing.... great performance...!!!
What a great idea to replace the 1st violin with the flute. It adds depth to the piece. Thanks and bravo!
Guy Braunstein could replace the second violin with a flute, too. That would give him the afternoon free 😅
Bravo! Amihai best Viola!!
This masterpiece they play exquisite skills is full of the nostalgy and comfort.
The wonderfulness of this music is off the charts
you got a better version than the original one! Bravo!
The flute really transforms this piece into something else for me. Wonderful!
Great arrangement by Guy Bernstein, and nice work by sound engineer Justus Beyer.
It is interesting that the inclusion of a timbre (flute) modifies the impressions we have of the work. In the case excellent arrangement.
sooo beautiful flute makes all spark
Amazing performance and arrangement!!
This is universal, and transcends the times
This exotic melody soothes my soul
This wonderful performance should quench the dryness of the soul of the U S A
I love how the flutist expresses the music with her facial expressions.
Now she just has to learn how to express the music with the music.
Amihai ❤❤❤ great violist ❤❤❤
Wow, a fantastic arrangement! :D The timbres mix brilliantly and it works incredibly well!
Very beautiful Quartet !!!!! The Musicien are very good instrumentist !!!!! Congratulations !!!!!! Pino.
Just sublime!!!!!!!!!
Delicious music! Truly glad I heard that!
This is beautiful!
I love this so much. So beautiful
graceful!
Magnific versión, BRAVO!!! 💘
Beautiful piece performed with great mastery. It is a real pleasure to listen to this and watch the performance. Thanks for posting.
Wonderful!
Wow man, that interpretation...Beautiful, Lindo, Belissimo, muy bonito!
Quartett of Masters...... How niceeeee.............
Wonderful music.
Nice! Bravo!
Why didn't Dvorak think of the flute himself! this is brilliant!
I do believe in a lot of musical settings the flute can replace the violin or the oboe and give a new and interesting twist to the original composition. Please do !
There is always the question of when the violin is asked to play two notes at once. This can often be ignored when the violin is playing sharp chords but there are times where the strings are asked to play extended melodies, perhaps 3, 4, 5 notes in a row where the melody is played in 3rds or 6ths. But you are right, many of these wonderful chamber pieces sound marvelous when played by woodwinds.
+David Young flute, of course, is not woodwind. The purity of flute enables it to replace violin - would not work with clarinet or even oboe
The flute is regarded as a member of the woodwind family, even though now most flutes are not made of wood. The clarinet is in a different register, similar to the viola and there are many pieces where these instruments are interchangeable. There are also pieces where an oboe can replace a flute althoujgh it would not work in this piece.
The oboe would have more difficulty in replacing a violin or a flute due to its lesser extension - some two octaves and a half - and lesser agility in general.
However, a flute replacing a violin has its own challenges, besides the more obvious issue of not making chords.
The flute tends to loose sound potency as well precision and speed of attack at the lowest register. Any session in forte and very quick articulation in the low region is challenging - like one finds in the first measures of Khatchaturian concert.
On other hand, the extreme high region tends to sound too high in sound potency, as well lacking flexibility to do pianissimo in legato. In the violin, one may ascend indefinitely in pianissimo, a very good flutist goes up to a pianissimo C6 but further than that a pianissimo is beyond human. C#6, D6 or Eb6 usually are only possible in forte and are seriously challenging for reaching the same souplesse as a violin does.
Besides that, there is the low region, where a violin goes down to G2, but a flute goes down to a C3 or in some flutes to B2.
Dennis Bouriakov solved this problem by transposing some violin concerts like Tchaikovsky a minor third above, from D Major to F Major, since there were important sections in the lowest limit that would be meaningless if transposed just an octave above.
But in chamber music like a string quartet a lot of the sonority of the strings (like the bare strings) would be descharacterized.
Esto es como una herejía musical.
Beautiful!!! Thanks!
Muuuito show

There is something odd about one of the sets of parts to this piece. At 20:58 to 21:00 in this performance, the viola plays a low f on the second beat when the other players rest on the second beat and play an 8th note pick up to the next measure. In the score, this is 3 and 4 measures before rehearsal number "8" in the fourth movement. In the full score, all four instruments play off the beat. The Emerson quartet makes the same "mistake" and I believe that the Guanari Quartet also make the same "mistake." But the Prazak Quartet, Amadeus Quartet, Cleveland Quartet and Prague quartet played that part "correctly" according to the full score. I can only believe that there is a set of parts out there that differ just in those two measures in the viola part. If you listen to the Prazak quartet play at the same spot you can hear the difference. I find this very curious
Since I made this post a month ago, I have learned some details about this curiosity. It transpires that when Dvorak wrote this score back in 1893, he wrote the viola notes rather sloppily in these measures (didn't they all?). When the parts were prepared by Simrock, his publisher, the rhythm in the viola part differed from the other three instruments. Dvorak later pointed out the part preparation error, with his intention that all four players play the exact same rhythm. But the altered viola part persisted in some publishers versions, and can be found in the contemporary Kalmus viola part, for instance. So the mistake in the viola parts dates back to when Dvorak made his autograph score. It was corrected and I believe that all of the full scores of Dvorak's Quartet reflect the correction. I have listened to about 80 performances of this quartet that can be heard on TH-cam. Approximately 30 percent play from the altered viola part and about 70 percent from the correct viola park. If you listen to a version of the Emerson Quartet on TH-cam you will listen to the performance with the score shown on the TH-cam video. The Emerson plays from the altered viola part and if you have a good ear and can read the music, you will notice that the Emerson plays differently from the score that you read in front of you... but only in those two measures. On professional Quartet, the Dolazal Quartet (Dolazalovo Kwarttet) play with the altered viola part and have explained to me that they prefer it, believing it to be the better version musically. Both sound find and this curiosity is nothing more than a historical curiosity.
Bravi!!!
Bravo! Bravo! Brovo! Bravo!!
I love violin solo at 4:04
איריס יקרה.אהבתי מאוד. תודה.מה הטל של שמוליק ?בבקשה.
Beautiful transcription. Guy, have you published the transcription or made it available? I would like to feature this arrangement in concert in Gainesville, FL
there is a publication for 4 flutes. than you can have the transcription
Is this arrangement available for purchase?
Amazingly beautiful, I'm Just missing a little bit some double strings
Velocity of the quarterly report 😊 Paganini
bravo
I wanna flute parts , can anyone help me !
Zahra Draz you can play the 1st violin part, but sometimes you will have to play a few notes an octave higher, because they don't exist on the flute
Should have simply got Pahud to record this.
Is the music available? Publisher?
very beautiful! So can you tell me where I can find this arrangement??
:-) :-) :-) Can someone explain to me how in the last movement the viola ends measure 182 at the tip, and magically begins measure 183 at the frog??? and yet again going from measure 194 to 195??? I'd really like to get one of these bows that can teleport from the tip to the frog... Anybody know where I can find one ?????? :-) :-) :-) Maybe it's not the bow... Could be a Jewish thing... Like walking on water... That aside... It's a highly satisfying performance of the work, at least to my taste... thrilling really...
Lovely playing, unfortunate that the person doing any of the closeup video never held or operated a camera prior to this.
Is this arrangement rewritten? Or does the flute simply play the violin 1 Part?
sounds the same to me
Richard Carchia well considering the flute has a different range of the violin. I could say its definitely an arrangement
It's arrangement. There are notes that she doesn't playa! Might be for the range
Eh, it doesn’t have the same feeling without the first violin.
Same for me, like the flute is amazing but the first violin is what I prefer
I'd prefer this arrangement to the original.
SENCILLO AUDAZ DIVERTIDO Y MISSATROMPO
Sorry, but definitely prefer the original way: 1st violin just fits better into STRING quartet. Flute sounds nice, but not as brilllant as violin strings. Also a quite different sort of vibrato...
Dear God, why?
why what?
Oh God NO!
Sorry to vote "dislike", but 2 advertisements in the middle of the music are two too much.
But its youtube.......not the musicians.......
If there were a dislike button for comments, that would be totally appropriate at this moment.
Noel Medford Lucky you. Every comment in this thread has a reply icon. Next to that is a black flag icon. Click on that, and you can block that person. He will not see your comment, you will not see his comments. :)
I regularly troll-block flat_earthers, anti-NASA conspiraturds, anti-CERN fanatics, 9/11 twoofers etc etc etc.
You can Use "Adblock" it removes all kind of ads in youtube and other pages
yeah god forbid someone wishing to monitize their life's work... anyway: You could pay for TH-cam Red and be ad free. This assures monitization still happens, you just don't have to watch the ads or have your program interrupted.
Ad block software is another solution, just one that only benifits the ad block software company and not the artists, but if you are seriously complaining about this and even go as far as "dislike" this beautiful work well, you probably don't mind this..
