So happy to see this again. I am the very proud parent of Michael, the second violinist. This was performed at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, where he was a student. He started playing violin around age 5. Just a kid from a town in Iowa who fell in love with violin and classical music. He would willingly practice about 8 hours per day, and I loved hearing his music throughout our home. He is now with the Florestan String Quartet, and has traveled to many countries playing violin with various string quartets. Additionally, he hopes to be offered an orchestra position now that he has just received his Masters Degree in Violin Performance.
Michael is the other first violinist. There is no "second violinist". Both violinists are first violinists. They just play different parts. Michael plays beautifully here, and makes his part count for everything it should. He is in the great line of other firsts that includes Alexander Schneider, Elisa Pegreffi, Siegmund Nissel, and John Dalley.
Dear John Rau, thankyou so much for those words about your son Michael. Both of you, not to forget your wife, are blessed in many directions. Actually I´m writing something about Beauty in the life of us human beeings. Last year all of a sudden I understood that mankind´s life could be described with three questions- what is beauty, what is love, and -is there a god. Since we exist we are looking for an answer, never found!
@@andrewmargrave7518 1st and 2nd violinist here is not a ranking, but musically conditioned. They are first-rate violinists but play different lines: the first and the second.
. . . best of luck...
Wow I don't even practice 30 minutes a day because I am lazy and make excuses like I need an extra hour of piano practice
So proud of my son! Matthew Vera I love you!
THINGS LIKE THOSE GIVE ME FAITH OF HUMANITY
congratulations! were you in the audience during this performance? What is your son doing now? I know during the pandemic many musicians have canceled many of their performances and stuff.
@@SimonCU I wasn't at this one. He is still back East, has played so much over the past few years, but you are correct, the pandemic has put a hold on much. At present he is focused on education and playing when/where possible
@@danipar7388 What a sweet thing to say. I love and appreciate your kind words. We need such kindness, ALL OF US. You made my week. Oh btw, I agree with you. Best wishes
Well done.
I want to credit someone extremely important in the creation of this fun and passionate performance: Roger Tapping. In all his magnificence, he spent countless hours with us each week working on the fine nuances of these phrases, sharing incredibly detailed knowledge of Beethoven and chamber music, and bringing out our beautiful sound through these phrases of music. Even with mistakes here and there in this performance, Roger came to us afterwards beaming with kindness, joy, and the type of support that you only see from a person who truly loves sharing music and sharing deep well thought out knowledge and passion. To this day and moving forward, he will always be a musical inspiration for me. He touched the hearts of every person who got to experience him in all facets of his life. Seeing Roger in the hallways at Juilliard after I had graduated NEC was truly a “welcome home” feeling. His kind smile, a quick hello when he was rushing somewhere, or even the thoughtful longer conversations that we had provided solace for me at a new school where I felt lost. The life he brought to music will be sustained through every person who was lucky enough to work with him, through audiences who have been lucky enough to hear him, and countless others. Thank you, Roger. 💛
Expressive viola
viola d'amore
wow he's barely even looking at his music
Black violists propping up now they are unusually very good
Viola gang
@@daniel3231995 Bruh. My sister is a black violist and she's trash lol
The viola player is impeccably in synch with the pizz of the violins. They literally sound like one!!!! The whole ensemble is incredible. Hats off!!!!!
01:10 Allegro
11:25 Allegretto vivace e sempre scherzando
20:27 Adagio molto e mesto
33:12 Allegro. Thème Russe
This year 2020 it is 250 years since Beethoven was born. Another reason to celebrate this wonderful music.
The sense of musicianship here is staggeringly beautiful :D You can just sense their sincere appreciation for this composition.
spruitje
it would be better if they reduced the vibrato and concentrated on the intonation
Oh Yes!
@@sandygrungerson1177 lol fair assessment. Typical of developing students. But all in all it wasn’t so distracting that it took away from performance!
this is beautiful. medical school is terrible and soul crushing. Beethoven's string quartets and trios (and of course, his violin concerto) make studying bearable.
Tell me how the cycle of Krebs works.
@@DaviSilva-oc7iv has Google stopped working?
I am so into B's violin concerto right now
God bless you for your consciousness !❤
These guys are amazing! Great viola playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I agree the boy on the viola did a great job. The viola is a very underappreciated instrument.
great trumpet playing.
great flute as well
@@SaxandRelax hey I've seen you comment on a twoset video lol small world..
lol
I hope these young musicians stick together, because on the form they show here they could have a great future as a professional quartet. I am blown away by the splendid way they have met the enormous challenges of this my favourite Beethoven string quartet (especially their brilliant handling of the dynamics and light-and-shade of the whimsically spooky second movement. This is a great performance!
!
I studied basic harmomy and counterpoint when at the university, and it looks that Beethoven threw a little bomb at the beggining of the second movement Was
y
that a modulation?
i love that violist
I know. Watch him interact with all the other players as if he plays his part from memory.
1:09 Allegro
11:25 Allegretto
20:27 Adagio
33:12 Théme Russe
I have known this quartet for 65 years. I have heard or listened to numerous presentations. This offering is superb but even more, they are so very young. As someone else noted, I hope they stay together.
I agree they are doing a great job... when i saw how young they were I was afraid they were going to butcher it, but I am quite impressed so far (middle of 3rd movement). Strong performances for sure! This work is one of my favorite from Beethoven 's middle period. To me, the string quartets (and piano sonatas as well) of Beethoven are like a distillation of his genius - stripped down to the bone - without the ornamentation & redundancy of a full orchestra - they are more like a stream of consciousness - pure brilliance flowing straight from his soul through his brain to his hand and into a pen - pouring out in ink onto paper. You can literally hear his inner moods shifting in the late string quartets, as well as battles between the spirit and the intellect, between warm passion and cold logic (Specifically in the Great Fugue Op. 133 - which essentially took music out of the Romantic and into the Modern period over 100 years early!).
she means the piece of music
*facepalm* when one refers to 'a quartet' most commonly they are speaking of the piece of music.
Frederick Noe she means the musicians playing the music
Taking a Music History class and just read that back in 1806, Beethoven composed this piece for the Russian ambassador to Vienna at the time Count Rasumovsky who was a violinist himself and a member of a quartet thought to be one of the finest in Europe. When the ambassador's quartet sat to read the music they thought Beethoven was joking with them, which is why I had to look this up. This is really pretty and these musicians are amazing. Thanks for posting. : )
1st movement: 0:00
2nd Movement: 11:20
3rd Movement: 20:13
4th Movement: 32:56 (I think, could be wrong) :))
Cool, thanks!
mruberduck 1st movement 1:10
Beethoven, op.7
4th is actually 33:10!
Thank you for mapping it out!
Oh....my.... This is one of the highest compositions of musical genius I can recall hearing (of course the playing is absolutely phenomenal).
Imafungi123 This string quartet is at a pinochle of art in Western music. Had Beethoven written only this he would be revered as one of greatest composers in history.
It so beautiful it is almost painful.
Sanjosemike
Agreed. Btw, the 3rd movement grabs my heart every time
Truly unbelievable and intricate
Soeben habe ich dieses wunderbare Streichquartett entdeckt. Alles erstklassige Musiker! Besonders die Art des Spiels von David, seine Körpersprache und Mimik, hat mich sehr beeindruckt. Er öffnet mir die Musik noch mehr, macht sie quasi körperlich spürbar. Grossen Dank an alle vier. Weltklasse!
wonderful young quartet. Lyricism stands out.
Classy, youthful performance, made me cry, the acid test.
Bennett : How could you not cry? Beethoven was such a genius. Then to have it played by such a great group of musicians. Life is good!
These young people died an amazing job with this difficult quartet. Bravo to their teachers and to the ensemble work together.
Brilliant performance, yes, but I hope it didn't kill them!!
haha. an unfortunate typo that you hilariously capitalized on
...and a fellow marylander no less
I almost died tho
They died?!?!?!?😱😱😱😱
One of my favorite performances on TH-cam. 👍
What a beautiful performance! Congratulations to all of you !
Beautiful beyond words.
And ... uh ... I can’t believe the 1st violinist’s chair doesn’t slide out from under him. ;).
this is some good mature playing from such young people. I like the lightness of touch int he first movement, I'm sure this is just what beethoven intended. The dynamics are beautifully used to bring out the bestof the music.
The 3rd movement of this piece is absolutely breathtaking. One of the most beautiful things Beethoven ever wrote.
I actually don't look at them perform. I just listen. I look after I hear the music.
There are some really special moments in this performance - great communication between the lower strings. Very nice.
A truly brilliant performance of one of the high points of chamber music. Nine years later this performance still stuns. Thank you.
over and over i listen. i worship these four. thank god for them, bless them through long and wonderful careers filled with acclaim.
I do so adore it when young people do something like this. Bravo! BTW This performance is beautiful...
Beethoven's three Op. 59 quartets are a jewel in the crown of his middle years. Just savour the third movement of No. 1 and the second of No. 2. They are so inventive and, at times, intriguing. The young players here are first-rate. Altogether, what a graceful video! Many thanks.
Humam Ghassib Hey, all movements of the three rasumovsky are an incredible masterpiece of an other universe art, something divine like all B music
Yes, and the video is unobtrusive.
The most beautiful, pre-romantic slow movement in a string quartet by Beethoven.
so refreshing to see and hear these young people performing great music .
It's amazing to hear the depth of musicianship coming from such a young group. Each of them will have a brilliant career and so well deserved.
I remember my violin teacher telling me these terms and she would always shout ALLEGRO ALLEGRO! at the start! she enjoyed watching our orchestra play but for some reason I found it daunting and loathed playing. How I hear this quartet play each of their parts brings me fully back to the countless hours that I actually remember practicing. The best point was when you could play the whole exerpt or song fully with 100% accuracy, and then adding more expression to the strokes of your bow, adding twiddles and showing your dexterity and mental capacity to arrive on beat at a moments notice!! Truly splendid!
So great and wonderful. Beethoven's music was complex and difficult to play. Musicians in his day often hated having to play his compositions because they were often not sufficiently skilled to do the job. He was radical for his time. These young musicians were masterful. What a great pleasure watching them.
i agree. it's a pity people dont listen to keith emerrson [the nice]. i suppose he's not classed as "classical music" jesus maria! he was a genius; still unrecognised.
Awesome. :D Makes me smile. Actually I don't want to step away from my computer for a minute and miss a second of this. Listen @ 21:00. Amazing chord progression around there. Props to Beethoven. But also props to these guys who are spreading the love that is Beethoven's music
This is so beautiful! Thanks!
My god, these kids are talented! Such an inspiration
Brilliant... Their performance makes my heart happy 😄
That cello is so rich and divine
Great job all four of you -Thank You. And Marza, anyone who has ever tried to play Cello knows that you're talented and you work diligently at your craft.
Just wonderful! I am so fond of this performance. Thank you!
Wow!! This is wonderful!
I really love it ! That's the greatest version I have ever seen/listened haha thanks for this 42.28 enjoying video these performance are really amazing !!
So beautiful!
Just amazing.
Impeccable performance, wonderful recording! Thanks for posting.
This is so beautiful!!!!
Brilliant performance - Bravo!! It amazes me that such a young string quartet can play this music with such congeniality. As someone else noted: lets hope they stay together! I would certainly love to see them perform sometime in the future!
So fresh and lyrical - this is just gorgeous!
Elegant, charming. Pleasurable to listen too.
You have wowed me just on the first page. Exciting and powerful performance. I am excited to hear the rest. Bravo!
The adagio at 22:47 sends one to the stars OMG!
Fabulous playing by four talented musicians! Very much enjoyed listening to you tackle this beautiful and difficult quartet. Solid performance!
this is so lovely to watch!
Great performance!!
I wanted to show the kids how the different string instruments play together, and damn --- I found this!!!
I like and prefer this performance than that of Obeythoven with proffesional musicians. Here altogether do it great. And the camera is not wandering in a nonsense translation from violins to viola and cello. These Young musicians are really outstanding. Bravo!!
A pleasing sound for the senses! Simply beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Now, that is really beautiful. A no frills interpretation, lovable and challenging in equal parts. Total fun. Thanks for uploading!
Thank you for this magnificent performance!
Fantastic performance of my favorite Beethoven quartet! Nice job!
A joy to the eyes and an exquisite delight to the ear. Thank you Beethoven and thank you 4 young interpreters of his music. Above all thank you Jehovah God for creating us with the abilities to compose, play and appreciate beautiful music.
Surprisingly good execution coming from so young performers. Beethovenian moods arise from a mature soul, and these interpreters, through their faces and bodies transmit us a deep understanding of the composer. Thanks .
MAGNIFICENT !
This flipped on as a "next" video while I was fixing breakfast, such a surprise to see it appears to be high schoolers, made my Sunday morning
I can feel the passion in this music being played by youthful artists! It is absolutely lovely and a blessing to my ears! Thank you!
This is my FAVORITE orchestral performance I've been listening to it for years - to all the musicians, well well well done, beautiful music.
Beautiful music, beautiful cellist!!
This is the best performance I have ever seen of this quartet!
Very, very well done. Thank you very much.
U n b e l i e v a b l e how high a level these young people have already reached, made my day!
superb playing, a great joy to watch!
Fantastic, lovely, Thank you musicians (and Beethoven)!
Absolutely beautiful. Good job guys.
I'm amazed!! Congratulations and thank you to all the people involved!! This is so inspiring!! Chamber orquestra performances have always been my prefered ones in classical music, and this one is breathtaking in so many aspects!! Overwhelming!! Beautiful!
I love this so much.
I play it in the background every time I am doing school writing assignments.
Thank you! :)
Beautiful play!
What a wonderful group of musicians. So much more than notes on a page (an extreme understatement) Flawless playing and interpretation!
Remarkable performance. Definitely grasped my attention, I was sucked into it!
Bravo!!! Thank you for a really engaing performance of this marvelous quartet - one of my favourites, especially that gorgeous opening theme on the cello which is just beautiful, and the fabulous and energetic second movement. Thank you!
Just beautiful.
This is a really phenomenal performance - great interpretation and wonderful playing by all 4 of these incredible young musicians.
No orchestra to hide. Well played.
Fascinating conversation between instruments.

Magnificent performance, probably the best ever played and I'm very happy they captured the performance on tape, for posterity! Kudos all around and very well deserved.
