This is a beautiful rendition of this piece, very eloquently performed. I think it's unique from any other recordings because of the reflective brickwork that resonates the sound through this small chamber, there's an element of obvious reverberation what gives the small hall a definite fulfillment of overall sound. It's amazing how four instruments can make so much sound within such a unique environment. I'm not musically trained although I can play several instruments somewhat proficiently, say some piano in ambient classical and jazz lines, and the guitar in generally light folk, ambient, bossa nova and jazz lines, albeit with no music theory lessons ever. I just play by ear and self-learned example. My wife and I had our daughter trained in classical violin by an Oregon symphony player for 10 years, so I learned a little about the violin. Now aging at 65, I'm more intrigued to try to learn how to actually play a violin, cello, or viola.
Dear Mark, first of all thank you so much for your comment! There is an interesting story in this execution of us, indeed. The video was recorded a few day before Christmas in one of the most beautiful and well preserved medieval churches in the North - West Italy. That was a kind of painful situation since half of the quartet ad a fever, there was no heating at all and the temperature was around 32 F. But as the music begun, the magic immediately flourished with its reverb, and we played in a sort of trance for all the concert along. Then happens that a far friend of us, in love with music and its power, writes such a beautiful and emotional comment: thank you so much!
