Danish String Quartet plays Bach, Thomas Adès, and Beethoven

The Danish String Quartet arrived at the Kaplan Penthouse for its Mostly Mozart debut with a fascinating program that began with Mozart’s arrangements of The Well-Tempered Clavier followed by Thomas Adès’s kaleidoscopic fantasy Arcadiana and Beethoven’s earth-moving Grosse Fuge.

This is deeply moving - and also brilliant ... absolutely B R I L L I A N T ... (the last Nielsen goes directly to your heart :)

A compelling interpretation of Arcadiana, capturing that longing for all we have lost, deeply affecting.....

A fantastic performance of the Grosse Fugue. I have heard several, but now this is my favorite.

What does it feel like to play in a string quartet? Please try to explain.

[@bananaquiet]

What is that beautiful piece at the end? Carl Nielsen... is that one of the string quartet arrangements or one of the folk songs?

It´s the coral "Mit hjerte altid vanker" (My Heart Always Wanders). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitt_hjerte_alltid_vanker

Not bad, but personally I like the folk music a lot more.
