Historic Schubert Quintet played by Brainin, Carlyss, Farulli, Metz and Berlinsky

- For the first and only time the members of the world leading String quartets met in July 1991 to perform the String Quintet with two cellos D.956 by Franz Schubert, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Orlando Chamber Music Festival in Kerkrade, The Netherlands.
This is an impression of the rehearsal and the life performance played by:
Norbert Brainin - Primarius Amadeus Quartet
Earl Carlyss - second violin Juilliard Quartet
Piero Farulli - viola Quartetto Italiano
Stefan Metz - cello Orlando Quartet
Valentin Berlinsky - cello Borodin Quartet
I want to share with the world that i love Norbert Brainin !
Who can fail to?
OMG yes, wasn't he charismatic?!?
Ditto....what a great warm character he used to be. I once attended to 2 concerts in a week: the Amadeus Quartet and later a Heifetz recital. The Amadeus Quartet filled me with warmth and love, Heifetz was very perfect and lacked the degree of warmth I expected.
The amadeus quartet is the best of all time. But then there was a lot of competition.
je suis s'accord, M. Clement: je vous imprie de chercher, maintenant le schillerinstitute.com International Conference September 5th and 6th, 2020, which is about to begin it's final panel today, Sunday, at 3PM EST, USA. Norbert Brainin was an intimate colleague of the International LaRouche movement and led a Seminar in 1995 on the Motifuhrung principle which he and Mr. Lyndon LaRouche mutually embraced as the driving dynamic of all great Classical composition. Norbert was perhaps the most profound living exponent and practitioner of that Principle, which is what is wrenching your heart at every stroke of his bow -- it is what Einstein sought when he turned to his violin and J S Bach when confronted with the most profound paradoxes of physics and universal physical principles. There is only one Universe, and the laws that govern it are accessible to the Human Mind -- is there any higher understanding of that than is grasped in this rendering of this exquisite quartet? If we all strive for this quality of Mind, is there any problem confronted by our Human condition that cannot be solved? Je pense: Non!
ho avuto il privilegio di essere per svariati anni il fotografo della Scuola di Musica di Fiesole, creata da Piero Farulli, dove anche Brainin ha insegnato, e dove ho visto crescere e diventare grandi musicisti tanti ragazzi....mi vengono le lacrime a vedere questo video
Absolute treasure ! Thanks a lot for sharing this precious ,virtuosity of these virtuosos
This is to my taste the best interpretation of this piece. I just love it in its measurement and calm, thoughtfully played. Congratulations!
Das ist eine wunderbare Interpretation dieses himmlischen Stückes vom Genie Franz Schubert. Ich preise den HERRN für diesen wunderbaren Komponisten!
Their wonderful performance Ís embodying the musical aesthetics and genius of Schubert, and unrivaled, and outclassing
Dear Norbert! Thanks for Your playing and Your Music and Your incredible teaching all this years! Your playing was always moving me
Norbert is the god of quartet violonists, and Amadeus a gift for the humanity... So much love in their playing...
@@laurentyves3463amadeus quartet will forever be the greatest!
So very wonderful: don't miss this Treasure. Share with all the classical music lovers you know.
Norbert Brainin has the most distictive voice of all these wonderful chamber musicians. He was very special and I cherish the memories of his live performances. A performance of the G minor Mozart quintet with Cecil on 2nd viola at the South Bank London haunts me still today.
Beautiful. This is my favourite piece of music, along with half a dozen other Schubert string pieces (except for the Trout, I really can't get into that). Excellent performance.
Each time from 1:00:28 on I get goose-skin. The vibrato of Norbert Brainin and the sound as a whole are the most tragic lamentation imaginable, a caterwaul towards the heaven. This recording is the greatest tribute to Schubert's music. Unfortunately such musicians are not imortal as they should be.
Doch, Franz Schubert ist unsterblich!
Paul Dorgh: Their Immortality LIVES IN YOU! Of course they are Immortal as long as mere mortals in the flesh perpetuate their works!
Correction: to Paul DORON, last comment on the Immortality of these musicians and the composers!! And of yourself!
This wonderful performance is a object of envy to Schubert lovers all over the world
Как мне повезло.Благодарю за такую возможность.Очень люблю камерную музыку Шуберта.
Bravo Professor Farulli and his fantastic Viola!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful and such a refreshing sound, marvelous performance!
Sublime and gorgeous with beautiful relaxation in this performance and a good feeling of serenity. Lovely ensemble of course and they all seem to speak to each other musically and in unison.
Der langsame Satz ist einfach nur wunderschön.
Magnificent, majestic rendition.
Thank you Isti for posting this historic performance.

Merci pour ces précisions.
Thank you UwU
my favourite
I’d never heard this performance before. Thanks for sharing it Stefan. For me it is so good to see Norbert in full flow with a different quartet. All his mannerisms are so familiar to me. I realise how much I miss him as well as all the Amadeus boys.
Fantastic!
Marvellous!!.No other musician of that age ever influenced the listener as Schubert did .,What a misfortune that he died so young &in penuiery!!
Thank you so much for publishing this vidéo. Their interpretation is a miracle...

Today (March 12) is Brainin birthday. Last year was his centennial. unfortunately, I couldn’t find notice about this milestone last year.
Thank you so much sharing wonderfully with us.
Phenomenal performance!
Wonderful
Un grand merci pour le partage de ce concert mémorable. Une interprétation admirable et de référence pour ce chef d'oeuvre absolu.Des artistes merveilleusement engagés , bien qu' issus de formations différentes .Une mention spéciale pour Norbert Brainin (Amadeus) et le grand Valentin Berlinsky (Borodine), mais tous méritent notre admiration et notre gratitude.
Selbst mit Noten erschließt sich mir dieses großartige Stück erst nach mehreren Sitzungen
Mindblowing!!!!!
Hermoso! Hermoso! Hermoso ....para el alma...
Nagyon szep Istvan.
Una joya!
Mitici!!!
Fantastici musicisti!
Brainin was a prophet on stage, his....upbeats......!!!
Rehearsal at 53.51. Out of this world.
Norbert Brainin vibrato is moving! and in in the Adagio will let shine your tears ...
+Emilio Pessina His vibrato got rather fat as he himself got bigger and bigger! But his ease with the bow is astonishing and, as you say, his playing in the adagio is wonderful.
for me is the worst vibrato i ve never heard :-)
No doubt that they're 5 excellent musicians and performers. But the ensemble performance is poor, the 4th. movement is simply awful, heavy, graceless. 2nd.-3rd. movements better, 1st. and 4th. really to be forgotten.
I agree entirely. There is no actual 'ensemble' cohesion here.This often happens when 'superstars' play together and YT has many examples of this.
As a performance of one of the peaks of chamber music this is really quite shabby.
Actually, his vibrato is moving all over the place. We must remember that this is a fairly old performance, from an era when the primarius was the king and the others were considered accompaniment. To call the bit added at the end a rehearsal (my understanding: the process of arriving at a shared interpretation) is sad. No communication is heard. It is just a rehearsal for the silly zooming about of the camera team, and shows that they initially played more wrong notes than in the performance. Brainin is especially horrible in that part. Modern quartets have a much higher ensemble culture, are often technically better than this, and have largely gotten rid of the wobbly vibrato. Given all that I still find it interesting to hear, even if not quite up to modern standards.
Preciosa obra !!! Quinteto sobresaliente...
Grandiose Wiedergabe, einfach wunderbar.
This adagio is sublime. Amen
Just this side of heaven.
Que fantástico instrumentista de cámara fue el maestro Brainin.RIP
Brainin, merveilleux, historique !
Splendid. Captivating.
La belleza hecha música.... excepcionalmente tocada......
What genius to imprint the Shuberts feelings in this outstanding performance. Branin got the violin to transmit feelings like in a talk. Also Metz was superb with the Cello. Bravisimo..
Branin transmitted the deafness in his ears, the arthritis in his hands, and his obvious center of self. he did not transmit Schubert. And any music that sounds like 'talk' is wordy. get it? that's what is beautifull about music... we don't talk, we emote, we feel, we translate the music with NO WORDS. Terrible similie.
@@mikeriley6278 likes to rile
@@mikeriley6278 I think you should study more how this piece was actually written
@@mikeriley6278 "deafness".... Have you ever SERIOUSLY played in a string quartet/quintet? Do you really know what kind of work Is needed for good intonation? Please have respect and humbleness for those big music columns
Oh lala..... quel niveau de parfaite émotion, incroyable.
A fine intense performance of a profound masterpiece. Watching the musicians so close-up is a real treat.
All of the above, absolutely Marvelous performance!!!
Question: as my father used to put it: "they don't make 'em like this anymore." And I would not be speaking like this except that Norbert, and the others are so wonderful, one cannot imagine a ' finer ensemble.
Bravíssimo!!!!
you just always wanted to use this word 'bravissimo'. save it for a decent recording like Melos with Rostropovich. this is dog sh...
Legend!
This ist be most beautiful interpretation of Schubert ever heard!
you are deaf, then
The recording with Casals and Stern/Schneider/Katims/Tortelier is also very nice
17:02 the most soul grabbing music ever written.
Für mich das berührendste Stück Kammermusik. Es hat mich immer so gepackt und durchgerüttelt, dass iches nicht zu oft hören konnte. Hier spricht der liebe Gott.
@@karlhpfeiffer Und ich wurde dier zustimmen.
The breath of Schubert
TOP !!!
🙏🙏🙏
This is wonderful! Thank you for posting, I knew Brainin, in the late 80's and early 90's when he played benefit concerts for LaRouche, his good friend, who was unjustly imprisoned in the USA. He was a great man, a great musician.
Non ci sono parole per lodare questi campioni della musica da camera ! Chissà chi ebbe la brillante idea di riunirli insieme - in una località d'Olanda, non certo tanto nota !- da ben cinque compagini di quartetti diversi ! ! !
Ed il nostro Piero Farulli del grande Quartetto Italiano
I consider pre 1980 to be of a more musical era than after then.
After that, the world got more digital and less artistic or emotional/spiritual.
I agree. I am an old man, but if born later I suspect I would have missed out on this beauty.
Digital support made great music accesible to a wide universe of music lovers that could'nt pay the expensive tickets of Metropolitan and other music rooms in America and Europe neither pay a travel to reach the correspondent cities. Thanks RUclips. I have never listened this quintet in a music room, no wonder I consider it is the summit of chamber music and the Everest of all occidental music.
I cannot understand the 48 guys who doesn't like this video
They did instead, and much! at the point that their hands were shaking with emotion and they misclicked.... ;)
I find this document extremely moving. It must have been hugely difficult to reconcile stylistic habits from five different string quartets. As a result, the performance is sometimes rough, and they are not always in tune -- but divinely so! Yet, this is one of the best interpretations I have heard of this quintet.
What is beautiful is to look at the complicity of these great musicians communing together, looking at each other, expressing their bliss and their emotions in full concentration, with their completely different facial expressions and personalities. And giving a totally sincere offering to the audience.
(This being written by an agnostic listener!)
I perfectly agree, their stylistic differences are obvious. In my eyes, even such great artists should have had some more rehearsals... ;-)
Wow, what a Testament you have given to Schubert's genius and the power of this collaborative performance as you have identified it exquisitely. I cannot call that agnostic. The Nemenlose (nameless) power you describe is acknowledgement of a force greater than any one if us.
That last movement - catch accents of old chivalric orders in it - riding out as men together with pennants fluttering.
@ Mark Hughes. " ...riding out as men together with pennants fluttering." Great description.
An historic get together playing one of the highest summits of western music. Unfortunately, a quartet should be four musicians becoming one. This miracle does not happen here, you feel five great musicians but fail to feel the unity. I was lucky to hear Brainin in person with the rest of the Amadeus . The sense of unity, of a single instrument, a single will was overtaking, magical. The sound was velvety, smoky. They were more than perfectly synchronized, they were ONE.
Le deuxième mouvement est la musique des anges
C'est "Un peu de bon Dieu qui entre dans votre âme par les oreilles... !" (L. Pelletier) ;-))
Exactement, on peut dire: Sublime. Chercher schillerinstitute.com concerts et seminars, Master classes avec Mr. Brainin. One such is displayed here on this list of other videos, as I am responding to your note: it is titled: 4. Norbert Brainin Motifuhrung Seminar 1995 LaRouchePAC videos.

53:52 Impression of the rehearsal
it may have glitches but the only enhance the truly transcendent beauty of this performance... a much overused word is 'sublime' but this performance is SUBLIME..(i have heard many performances of this piece and i possess 11 cds from various artistes stacks of vinyl etc same quintet.
so.... )
Outstanding BRAVO. The quality of the recording is also very good, since captured very well the viola and cellos. Another outstanding performance is by Janine Jansen Quintet, but the recording is very bad, minimising the play of the viola and cellos, so important for this masterpiece. I think this masterpiece was Franz's farewell to this world.
Yes isn't it amazing (and wonderful) that the 2 quintets' interpretations are so different and yet both exquisite. it is the most amazing piece of music, outrageously complex and subtle but still emotionally direct.
Another great performance on RUclips is by the Canadian Afiara Quartet with Joel Krosnick as the extra cellist, who also gives an introduction to the music. A truly fantastic performance.
I know very little about music, just love it, especially Schubert; but am I mistaken that the ending of the 4th movement is missing in this video?
Piero Farulli del "Quartetto Italiano"!
The only quartets I ever heard live were the Borodin and the Juilliard....
Just remember, this masterwork is a *quintet*, -- not a quartet. ;-)
@@IvanGreindl Brainin at one time tried hard to change the standard tuning (throughout the music world) from 440 down to 415 - I wish he had succeeded.
Great performance! Second cello's pitch is a bit low.
Unusually slow tempo too but interesting
In the past I kind of disliked Brainin's "slow/lazy" vibrato. But now; this is so very beautiful. I guess I grew up :-) It all sounds so relaxed.
16:58
2nd violin looks like Toby from the office
😂
The only reason the Amadeus disbanded was that they thought their violist was irreplaceable... so much for the notion that viola players are a dime a dozen.
timing???? every artis is entitled.. had this gathering, on the other hand, been merely a financial exploit..
Hulde
1Vln's bow is wandering imprecisely, and sounds like it... :(
Haircut ?
compared to Emerson with with Rostropovich this is pathetic. Sorry!
not Emerson. Melos
I only listened to a few bars of the Adagio and immediately switched off.I dislike enormously what Brainin does with this transcendentally beautiful music.He makes far too much of the dotted rhythm, such that it has an unwontedly almost march-like rigidity and an urgency which is just so wrong.I feel that there should be no obvious rhythmic pulse but should have a feeling of spacious and unhurried stillness (not the middle section,of course) His dotted figures sound almost like baroque triple dotting which is so bad and almost ridiculous.He just seems so out of sympathy with this music.I wonder if he actually LIKES it. Most disappointing. Once again the gods have feet of clay.
yes i agree it is disturbing the flow. listen to how janine jansen and friends perform, that sounds 'contemporary', this smells a bit 'stale', like an old recording - of an old master yes. they are masters but with an interpretation like in an old movie; beautiful but our taste has changed.. the coherence of say the juilliard is broken, the quartetts are not quartetts for nothing..
You have no standing to be so offensively rude. These are outstanding musicians who have made their reputations in years of wonderful and much appreciated
concertising. You can disagree about points of interpretations, but to say that the performances are bad just because they don't agree with you is completely out
of order. Grow up.
I think you need to be more humble in front of those great columns of music.
@albertlanda1146 Indeed, in the Adagio Brainin exaggerates sometimes the syncopation and plays a little to forced. I think he wants to "lead" here. I do not find this so bad. What is much worse here is the very bad intonation of the viola player Farulli and the 2nd violoncello player.
This so sucks. only thing historic here is their age. totally sucks. violinist looks like he's trying to push out a log and sounds like he can't.
ok, so you're just a pig, got it.
There’s no accounting for taste, but in this case you are wrong.
A ‘Most Special Music Masterpiece’ for 2 of ‘The Nerdiest Math Nerde’, AND 1 began composing
Iff & only if- 🎶🤔😋😘😞😢🫣😱🫢😧
Marvellous!!.No other musician of that age ever influenced the listener as Schubert did .,What a misfortune that he died so young &in penuiery!!
The Greatest MASTER of Chamber Music that ever lived(to date)!!
