you know the cover is good when Beethoven is on the cello
Are you sure it's not Bach with a bad hair day ? 😅
I know a lot of people consider Yo-Yo Ma to be the best cellist but Mischa Maisky is just too magnificent for me to agree with that.
@@Klara_S. wait, who is yo yo ma? is it a Japanese cellist?
@AndrewYac Chinese-American world class cellist born in Paris. Fantastic player.
no, it is Sylvester Stallone
I love their dress code. We have a guy in formal suit, one lady in night gown, another lady just arrived from a coffee shop and the cello dude right out of disco
encapsulates the insanity of piece well enough lol
:)))))
The four types of uni professors 😅
Worst dress code ever, don't wear a beige hospital gown when you're supposed to wear formal attire.
Yes, classical music is very relaxing. It helps people sleep and study.
Shostakovich is really heavy. Also verdi dias irae
Pathetique works just fine too
@@saumiasinghal94662 your 4th movement of the pathetic Symphony, it's scare me
@@akakitsitnuntana229 :)
Except when it doesn't!
Okay, here we have: a violinist, violist, cellist and a headbanger.
AHAHAHAHAH!
The most musical headbanger in the world :-)
HAHAHAHAHAHAH Best Coment
She was definitely feeling it
Lol watch maisky’s Shosty concerto hahaha :)
I swear, Shostakovich whould be proud of this performance.
He actually broke down crying when he heard the Borodin Quartet rehearse it back in 1960. This piece had a lot of significant meaning for him, having been written after he was forced to join the Communist Party. Although he most likely wasn't suicidal at the time (that's a commonly-spread rumour), he was certainly very depressed. But yes, I agree with you! It certainly isn't an easy piece at all, and this quartet played it wonderfully.
Yes I am! I did great writing this, and Janine and the others did great performing!
@@dimitrishostakovich7113 Very funny
@@dimitrishostakovich7113 Doppler!!!
oh... absolutely, espetialy with Janine
I FEEL LIKE IM A FLY ON THE FLOOR BEING WHACKED REPEATEDLY WITH A GUITAR AND IM LOVING IT
PLEASE THIS IS SO ACCURATE
I laughed out so loud :)))
LMAO
i feel bad for the guitar, the fly can fuck off.
RIP to the multiple bow hairs hanging off of Jansen's bow
Really!!! RIP for Janine's bow's hairs!
Oh shit! She sacrificed for this piece! Then it also sounds like you NEED to sacrifice something in order to play this!
If you don't break a few bow hairs then it's an unsuccessful performance lol
She was playing so passionately
@@nidonemo Sacrificing sanity is not good enough... You have to sacrifice the bow.
I want this played at my wedding
man i just imagined that... now i want a wedding too just for this...
When I eventually get married, I will tell the quarter to play this lol
I would feel like you’re begging for help 🤣
Your Children will come out with hearing loss
@@NoThisIsWeber *quartet
from wikipedia: 'Shostakovich's musical response to [a number of recent] personal crises was the Eighth String Quartet, composed in only three days. He subtitled the piece "To the victims of fascism and war", ostensibly in memory of the Dresden fire bombing that took place in 1945. Yet like the Tenth Symphony, the quartet incorporates quotations from several of his past works and his musical monogram. Shostakovich confessed to his friend Isaak Glikman, "I started thinking that if some day I die, nobody is likely to write a work in memory of me, so I had better write one myself."'
That's so cool
The music is more about shostakovich's death than anything. He goes on with alot of detail in his memoirs.
Full of turmoil. Living through WWII was so catastrophic across Europe. Fire bombing killed more people in Japan than the Atomic Bombs.
r/suddenlyu/tchaikennugget
@@mikecabral1579 the worst part is that the fire and atomic bombing of Japan were deliberately targeted against civilians. They were acts of terrorism, not war. Probably the biggest acts of terrorism in human history.
The violinist on the left brings out the crazy in that piece beautifully. Amazing performance by all of them.
janine jansen! she’s cracked
Great Janine Janson🥰
That's Janine, and that is how falling in love feels like
Janine Jansen perhaps the best soloist of our day. She becomes the music. Not your typical chamber piece . Some really talented people there.
@@mikecabral1579 I feel there are too many amazing violinists today to say she's the best, but she's definitely in the Top 10.
This is how this piece was meant to be played.
There is something so thrilling about Shostakovich. His music (especially symphonies) are so hard to understand musically, but when ur listening to it life you get a sense of intense emotion. I don’t understand how u compose something so dissonant, something that no one would even think to compose, and achieve such an effective and outstanding result. Absolute genius of a composer.
composed in the span of three days with no other emotion than justified despair and anger
this is achieved if you write about what you feel yourself. these feelings cannot be faked, that is why Shostakovich is who he is
Mozart string quartet:😍✨🥰😃💫
Shostakovitch:🥵⛓⚰️🌧👻👹💀
I was so happy when I saw Twosetviolin show this recording! This is my favorite performance of this string quartet
i've never listened to this piece before twoset brought it up in their vid... I'm glad they did... the world should know about this.
@@pianissimo5951 hmm, i which video they mentioned this, do you still know the title? dont remember if i seen it.
@@bencze465 It's called "10 Pieces that Prove Classical Music is Not Calming and Boring"
you know it's going to be killer when you see Stallone is playing the cello
😂😂😂
I can imagine Brett's face while looking at Janine

Jansen plays that violin like it’s an electric guitar. I feel like if you were there in the room with them you’d feel it reverberate in your bones.
Just perfect for a calm winter evening!!!
lol
Christmas eve 🫡
A nice port wine and some chocolate. Watching the volcano explode in the distance.
2:33 might be one of my favorite musical moments in all of chamber music.
fr it feels like the cello is actually soneone singing it's incredible
Why is every performance not like this?! Janine absolutely furious like someone just tried to kill her mum, everyone else visibly scared of her and trying to keep up. Cool as fuck.
Janine WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
I can listen to the beginning over and over forever. how does her sound not crunch with so much power???
Love this interpretation, wow. Please post the whole thing.

I love Mischa’s wizard robes
If his beard was any bigger he'd be gandalf
He look good with he's designed clothes. So flowy n aggressive
Janine Jansen and Mischa Maisky just went freaking berserk. The performance is so intense, love it so much.
Man, that was intense!
That´s probably the most Metal thing I have ever heard!
Someone should do a metal cover of this…

Metal and classical are two sides of the same coin, particularly progressive metal. That's why I love both so much!
Janine went so crazy that a ton of her bow hairs snapped just from how intensely she played. Insanity. There must have been a wall of sound in the performance hall that day.
Wow this sounds BRUTAL
heavy af
Can we jus appreciate the page turn skill of Maisky at 1:18
Underrated!
you don’t understand how difficult that is to pull off 😅😅
and julian at 1:17!
Janine Jansen she is just so great
Sensational and great!
Pure fire
I fell in love with Janine's performance! 📢This is the real power of a woman' s heart! Bestial! ☢🎻💣
I lost 500 calories just by watching this video.
A string players wet dream
Eww. I mean you’re not wrong, but eww
Ewww
Ewww
I gotta say, I love Janine's outfit in this. Everyone else looks kinda collected, both in their playing and their wardrobe and then there's Janine, just going as hard as ever.
janine jansen looks like a crazy person from a psych ward who's lit at the violin. Not meaning to offend how she looks, but her attire and the way she plays this song...
I know right! I couldn't take my eyes off of her! They way she expresses her musicality is just mesmerising
PIECE👀
@@sevin8867 twoset?👀
@@nna1536 yup👀
@@nna1536 there's always someone from twoset😌
I can feel his pain and frustration, is like a ticking bomb and as soon as it gets close to explote the melody enters, meaning that he has to maintain his composure while the fight keeps happening inside of him. Truly incredible, I had some tears coming out.
Son: Dad where did heavy metal come from?
Dad: Come here son I want to show you sumpin
Bartok and Stravinsky beat Shostakovich by a few decades.
Literally though, yep
I really admire Shostakovich as an artist. He didn't follow the typical composers before his time, and he wrote about the horrors of his life. I can't always listen to his music, because it's very unsettling, especially during pieces like this. But I love the artistry and the history behind his music.
I feel teased because I wish earnestly to see the full performance and am denied my wish.
Eddy and especially Brett are so so proud of this performance.
A fellow twosetter!
If anyone ever wants to know what an anxiety attack feels like, just listen to this.
IT IS SPOT ON.
Truly remarkable what intensity and variety of emotion Shostakovich was able to convey with his music.
Why do I feel like Janine Janson is completely immersed in the music and everyone else is desperately trying to keep up xD
Edit: They seem so nervous about it too
I thought Maisky did really well at going ham
@@wateryflavor1192 yes he did!! he turned into a headbanger at 0:58
This is the best interpretation. I want to hear the whole thing so badly！
this is the energy that this piece should be played with every time
It’s impossible to play exactly like someone else… to replicate their exact tone/colour/ dynamics but also emotion/interpretation… the violins are matching their passions beyond human reason/ability. Every stoke of the bow is done in exactly the same manner in every way; how exhilarating!!! Then same with the viola and cello. They match incredibly. Then the four together. Unfathomable… their tone is just perfect with every detail, simply amazing. Going so so passionately, and all on the exact same page… wow. Love this to death. Literally head-banging.
listened to this at 1.25 speed, had a heart attack.
XD
They look funnier too
I did the same thing, couldn't sleep three nights 😅.
tip of the day xD
"He is Coming Fast !"
aint that bad
this piece plays in every student’s head right before the exam starts
The connection between the violinists is nothing short of amazing.
The initial motif by the first violin is gut-wrenching in the most litteral of terms, made me remember some stuff I didn't want to know existed anymore
I have never heard a violin so powerful, the torrential downpour of sound that comes after left me in shock
To me, this sounds like a soundtrack for some very intense action sequence.
It would be amazing to choreograph the action to this music; you wouldn’t even need the sound of the action itself, just this incredible music.
Wow I love how everyone is feeling the music out and how for once the triplets actually sound good in the violin part 😍
I desperately need this performance of the whole string quartet
Hello Julian Rachlin , can we find somewhere the whole performance ? This is a really amazing excerpt ! Thanks a lot !
“What sport do you do?”
Violin
This is so metal that I got confused which Jansen it was, Janine or Floor.
This is so stressing me out 😅 but I can't stop watching!^^
Mind-blowing. Jansen and Maisky are out of this world!!! Absolutely amazing❤❤❤
Wow, now that is how you play Shostakovich.
Oh my god. This is so good. I want the Full Version....
So do I.
Who’s new to classical music and is now here from Twosett?
who do i have to pay to watch the whole performance? maybe a patreon link? i am absolutely dying to know how the rest of the interpretation sounds!
This is incredible all around but you can SEE how much Janine Jansen FEELS the music & something about it is just beyond beautiful!!! 💕💕💕
I’m not even gonna lie I just cried while watching because they’re so good
This was in my recommendation after twoset's video
Brilliant. I would love to hear them play the entire quartet.
I'm obsessed with this
Absolutely Great performance.
This is the metal of classical music
Was looking for various recordings of this piece after hearing Twoset play it in their Twoset vs Davie504 concert and... this is just... wow 😳😳😳
I almost freaked out when they played it - it's one of my favorite pieces!
Way more interesting than the flight of the bumblebee!
Flight of the wasp
TWO SET
the piano behind is seriously chilling out in peace
That transition from the largo first movement to the 2nd movement though... Over 200 bpm
1:06
The moment the first and second violin knew this performance would go down in history
1:04 I like how she flicks up her eyes in tacit admiration.
how can we watch the whole performance ? its amazing
my favourite video on the whole TH-cam
Came from TwoSetViolin, did not regret 😌
I love her and the best she talks about World War II and she's epic
I just love turning on some beautiful shostakovich pieces and falling asleep to them. Great for calming down children if you want them to sleep as well. 10/10 would recommend for fussy children or if your an insomniac like me. Never fails.
(-.-)Zzz・・・・
See? Already fell asleep.
Ah, Janine Jansen. Perfect playing, as always.
Janine Jansen is my favorite is so hardcore!!
This moved me to tears. Amazing!!
INCREDIBLE!! You guys were so good, felt a little bad for Jansen's bow, but absolutely incredible performance. Inspiring! You all brought out the violence and beauty of this piece so well thank you very much for this recording!
This is the most intense violin quartet ive heard plus janine was heck a monster
OMG twoset brings me here. Amaze by them even I am have no musical background!!!
B²TSM made me come back for this masterpiece. God, I love Janineeeee 😭😭💗
Wunderbar!!! Das lässt mich immer wieder zuhören!!!!!
If this is not passion then i don't know how you might call it! ❤❤❤❤
What a fantastic quartet!.I am also a violist. What kind of viola and bow do you have if you don’t mind me asking.
J'ADOOOOOORE SHOSTAKOVICH LE BEST
Shostakovich was such a lighthearted composer.
Alternative title : relaxing and chill lofi beats to study
What a treat this would have been to see live
Oh my God this is Incredible!!!
absolutely insane!!! so good.
About to fall asleep in class so I play this on headphones now I'm a headbanger thanks to Jensen
Absolutely loved the energy!!!
Woah! How intense! Yet still amazing.
Fantástica performance!!!! BRAVO!!!
i love this interpretation so much
