The greatest and most difficult Schubert quartet realized here with almost alarming technical perfectionism but never at the expense of spontaneity. Equal contributions from all four players - no weaknesses!
The most powerfully gripping performance of this quartet I have ever heard. Marvelous music making by an outstanding quartet of musicians. Thank you! Thank you!
This was a volcano of knowledge, especially about the Human Condition, all its suffering, and perpetual search -- usually fruitless -- for something above and beyond --- to know God. That he was a powder keg of so much emotion and Brilliance that compelled him to set forth such unimaginable Musical Artform. He made all of this extraordinary body of work, ALL OF IT in his youth and brief lifespan of only 31 years before he succumbed to his end. Life is ephemeral and unforgiving. I am blown away by this.
Leider ist das weder makellos noch immer einfühlsam. Es ist ziemlich steril, cleen, totgeübt oder perfektionistisch, aber spricht nicht an, ist nicht beseelt.
Ah Schubert. Why didn't you live for 100 years? I have played this. It is impossible to describe how hard it is and how exhausting. You could see that at the end on their faces. They gave me goose bumps. Stunning.
People who offer comments on RUclips performances often helpfully give the time-codes for passages that have particularly impressed and delighted them. In the case of this Esmé performance, I would recommend the passage from 00.00 to 45.33.
There are not enough superlatives to describe, adequately, the excellence of this performance. As a player I know that not only do the technical demands of this wonderful work require great virtuosity, but also the physical demands on the players are immense. For any group to sustain both to this degree, as has the Esme Quartet in this performance, deserves the highest praise. Thank you!
Such a perfect performance of a truly attention-grabbing quartet. This is why Schubert is in the pantheon of composers. And why Esme Quartet has its reputation as world class!
Were it possible to choose a single favourite string quartet - which of course it isn't - this would be mine for many reasons. That might also apply to the Esme. Performance is visual as well as aural and the Esme present unity of style in both. This was a passionate and enjoyable performance, beautifully detailed where necessary and progressively unified to its last chords. Loved it!
This is a marvelous performance in every way! The technical perfection of this profound and physically strenuous work is absolutely world class. I also appreciate the gorgeous perfectly judged use of rubato at strategic points. Great respect for these people!
At 42:13 you can actually see the violinist shoot a furtive glance at the camera as if to ask 'is this not simply the greatest ever quartet - even better than Beethoven's op. 132?'
So makellos und einfühlsam sollte Schubert eigentlich immer wiedergegeben werden: Das Esmé Quartet macht das beispielhaft vor: Vielen Dank dafür! 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Ich bin völlig Ihrer Meinung. Einzigartig! Kraftvoll und einfühlsam.

A Beethoven, il primo movimento sarebbe strapiaciuto!!!
Amen!

Impresionantemente apadionante, como todo lo que tocan.
때론 섬세하고, 때론 강렬하고...
너무 멋진 연주네요~~
에스메 콰르텟은 대한민국의 자랑입니다^^
항상 응원합니다 ^*^
La Musica unisce le genti di tutto il Mondo.
😍🎻 Excellent interpretation!
A wonderful breathtaking performance of Schubert's last quartet by the Esmé Quartet ! The sound quality and video is impeccable. Many thanks !!
Thank you!!
Beautiful !
Brilliant!
Absolutely superb. The Esme Quartet's performances are a revelation.
Beautiful.
Wonderful performance!
Schubert would have been cheering you!
Would be fantastic to see this live. Thanks for the upload 😀
뭔데 심쿵인가♡♡😮😮😮😮😮😮
💐💐💐💐
The world is only half of what it could be, had Schubert lived another 10 years.
Very Excellent Performance !
Absolutely stunning performance!
They have a great musical talent combined with a beautiful technic.
Incredible perfect performance 👏👏👏👏
Brava🎉
Boa tarde!
Bravo Sudtirol:
Hai scelto Grandi Interpreti per una Grande Musica!
Stunning!!!
Schubert é meu compositor preferido entre os românticos desse período. Uma lástima que gênios como ele tenham vivido tão pouco.
Diese wunderbar gespielte Musik macht den Tag erst schön 😊
This is a stunning performance ❤❤❤❤
absolutely sublime, thank you 🙏🤍
This is the first time I've heard this piece, and no wonder. In the hands of the Esme Quartet it is delivered with unmatched skill. Remarkable, bravo.
👏👏👍
12july23 super
When are you coming to play in Brazil?
Wonderful 😮 i Like this music 🙂
This century will have to struggle to surpass Esme Quartet
18:25 !!
great compliment to the sound engineer(s) and their ears for the perfectly balanced, transparant sound from pp to ff!
I appreciate your compliment very much, thank you!
This
@@Suedtirolinconcert amazing recording quality! Thank you for this gift of safekeeping this moment in time and share with the world
Thank you very much!
Beg to disagree. Compared to the recording of 132 this is washed out, cello has no presence. The sound is too distant.
If only Schubert had lived more than 31 years!
Thanks!
Thank you!!!
I compared this to several other prominent recordings, and this was in a league of its own.
When are you going to record Bartok?
This quartet is out of this world
Tablets. Interesting. No bugs or screen saver. Advanced technology.
Superb pizzicato!
At 42:13 you can actually see the violinist shoot a furtive glance at the camera as if to ask 'is this not simply the greatest ever quartet - even better than Beethoven's op. 132?'
Had the great pleasure of listening to them in concert recently, minus the violist alas. Memorable.
it's a performance with no emotion
What!!!!???
…and you could do better? We’d love to hear your interpretation!
