I knew Touch was good but didn't know he was Good. His strong Quartets are great. They seem precision perfect Swiss Watches. A pleasure to the senses. Oh Man ! For all of them.

This is considered by Ivan Martynov (biographer of Shostakovich) one of the great works of Russian (soviet) chamber music along with the 5th & 8th quartets of Myaskovsky & 2nd quartet of Prokofieff. See "Shostakovich: A Man and his Work", (1947), p. 100.

rare piece

Toch's early chamber music is still vastly underplayed and underrated, notwithstanding that the situation has improved considerably over the past forty years. I remember attempting to draw the attention of various musicians to his music (notably, his chamber music) back in the early to mid-1980s. In those days very few professional musicians knew anything about Ernst Toch or his oeuvre. A masterful rendition of this splendid opus! Bravo!

So beautiful!! Perfect play, just delightful. Discovered Toch just recently through the Cello Impromtu ( ruclips.net/video/CR-phKa2jys/видео.html ). What a shame, this wonderful composer has become forgotten in Europe to most of even the music-affine folks.

brings back fond memories... i used to own a CD of the Shebalin recordings by the Krasni Quartet... i very much miss this music...

Great music !! Brings nice memories . Need to listen more often

I love toch quartets : this is amazing music ; shame more people don’t Probably know this composer.

Sublime

Beautiful music!!!!

thank you <3.beautiful

Molto, ma molto bello, soprattutto il movimento lento !

Music is good when it arouses an emotion or a mood within you. it's not necessarily about being melodic or overtly musical, but about carrying the listener somewhere where he was not before. In this case, I feel like sitting on a park bench by a warm evening. the wind gently caresses my face, and everything is silent except for the nature around me. It is interesting that I mention that it evokes the silence when I speak of this kind of music.

Villa-Lobos is overrated...

Estava lendo o livro A Vida dos Grandes Brasileiros - Villa Lobos. No fim do livro há uma lista bem abrangente de composições dele. Decidi ouvir alguma aleatória da lista e aí está, uma maravilha!

Je ressens du mystère, de la pureté, de l'âpreté aussi. Je suis touchée, merci.

Боже, какая красота! Где бы найти эти ноты...

Hi! I know this video has been for long online... anyway, I would like to ask for the music. I have searched it a lot and I haven't found it. My email is nibemos@gmail.com Thanks!! :)

very good

Bravi!!

sweeeeeeeet! :)

Marvelous performance. Could you please email the music to me? infocus88@gmail.com Thanks.

A wonderful mix of intellect and expressiveness.

this is so freakin mesmerizing

Also somewhat disrespected from the traditional music historians whose opinions we must see as subjective , somewhat cynical and highly uncreative and sterile.

Bravo!

Trio para violino, viola e violoncelo (1945) dedicado a Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge 00:00 Allegro 09:31 Andante 16:39 Scherzo (Vivace) 21:53 Allegro preciso e agitato

I found this while looking for samples of the Buchberger quartet. They sound great ; exemplary intonation and timbre.

Thank you so much for sharing this! Would you please send me the music or tell me where you found it? I've ben looking for it, but haven't been able to find it anywhere.

Does anyone know which artist created the painting?

wonderful

Sublime

Tempestas in urbem...

Foggy, undecided, a very slow violin solo which is only taken over by viola and cello when we may assume there was not too much else to be said. Then a myriad of flowers without petals, going on and on, as if an half-pizzicato was the main source. Odd.

nice

Does anyone know the painting that is used? It seems to match this beautiful piece of music perfectly!

A good piece - but "slavonic"? There are brush paintings of Scriabine and Ravel, not to mention Dvorjak. Thank you.

Nobody argues about Toch´s command of a quartet - but we are not in any "army" are we? Discipline versus inspiration and main objective or message could be the point. A god solid piece but ... whereto? Thanks.

First sequence of bars are kind of Brucknerian, promissing a teluric approach. Then the strings concentrate like deep rain by the merit of heavy dark clouds (Chostakovitch?), spread like in a wet plain (Wellesz?) and dissipate in winter fog. Interesting to be reviewed but nit the best I listened from Toch.

Bartoknian, then Sbelian and finally Toch himself. His biographers will explain far better but why such an "intersected" music with an intimate piece almost at nr. 12 ? Makes you wonder what happened here... Thank you.

An "angry" quartet or where melancholy is a grizzy bear in a deep "closed and isolated" grand forest. Nothing against its natural consistency but I was used to listen to more optimist and sunshined tunes. I don´t know if somebody alreadey nicknamed this piece - I would call it "Pathetic" or "Grey Medidation". Thanks.

An almost "perfect" quartet. The "square" (4 movs.) shows almost 90 degrees at each angle, and even the "pain" of the 3rd movement fits with the reality that is a sine qua non condition of being human. Magna cum cura ad curam. Grazzie.

Thanks for uploading.

villa, the best.

wow. the sound is beautiful even in mp3? over the computer.

nice
