one night in the far my country, 40 years ago, with a radio I heard this suite. In this time, my village very poor, everyone worked hard and they did not happy. The song by Borodin was talking our life. However today my life more well but I untill not forget old night with this melodies.
My grandmother was born in 1880 in Russia. Although she emigrated to Canada in 1917, she never really learned english, but she had an incredible knowledge of classical Russian music. Alexander Borodin, Mikhail Glinka, Modest Mussorgsky, Anton Rubenstein, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Ivan Larianov, among others. All were played in the house. Grandma gave me an appreciation for music she grew up listening to. A time before Bolsheviks then Communists despised people who were fortunate, some said privileged, to be able to know Russian music. Thank you, grandma. 🌼♡
The most impelling impact of this is that they allow themselves to become lost in this piece; to see these artists completely loose themselves in this is in itself an inspiration for the rest of us to surrender ourselves to our own creativity.
the conversation between violin and viola is exquisite in the early part..... one of those moments in all music when I can hardly breathe being in awe of its beauty.
Borodin wrote this as a later wedding anniversary present to his wife who was a violinist. Borodin was a cellist so this nocturne is a love duet between the cello and violin. The cello's heartfelt song is repeated on the violin as a perfect response and the other instruments sit back and support. This recording captures the essence in perfect balance between all instruments.The gentle syncopated rhythm of the accompaniment is unobtrusive but sets the air alive to let the duet really sing. Until the music erupts into a fiery passion that can only be felt by those who are in love. How Borodin captures the depth of feeling is amazing and as an audience we are transported in the sublime ecstasy of his art and are able to share in the highest emotion that a man and a woman can experience together. We are almost on hallowed ground.
It brought some amazing memories... and few tears.. A long time ago I used to go with my late husband to Berkeley Symphony wine tastings each year and their quartet played always this Nocturne which I loved, we had great wines and food and music and tickets were just 10 dollars. Good old times.
I found this after hearing and loving the piece on the radio. Though I didn't recall hearing it before, it brought a flood of emotions and memories of my life with my late husband. When I read your post, I was amazed -- we also went to those Berkeley Symphony tastings. Perhaps the piece had lingered in my subconscious all these years, waiting to be rediscovered.
During high school, I did a fun creative writing program at Stanford over the summer (on scholarship of course). I was telling my roommate how much I loved playing the cello in my school's orchestra, and to my surprise she told me her dad was David Finckel, a very accomplished cellist! A few weeks later at the end of the program, he came to pick her up and I got to meet him and take a picture with him. He was extremely warm-hearted and funny. To this day, I still come across videos with him in it and smile. His personality shines here just like it did that day, not to mention his masterfully expressive technique. Big fan
This is soo satisfying to watch. Arguably one of the best string quartets out there. The ascending eighth notes made me shiver.... it was soo perfect...
Alexander Borodin, medical doctor, chemist, professor and "amateur composer" has composed this masterpiece. Take a look at all the highly appreciated composers coming out of Russia. Russia is so much more than the terrible reputation and memory after Stalin. Throughout centuries and despite a hard and strugglesome life for russians. Af fantastic backlog of litterature, music and worldclass musicians. Just take a look at russian history. And not to forget russian sacrifices during the war. 26 million russians lost their lives. And now this fantastic Nocturne from the string quartet so brilliantly performed by Danbi Um, Sean Lee, violin; Paul Neubauer, viola; David Finckel, cello. My absolute favorite composition and not at least how it is arranged for a quartet. Thank you!!!
I agree fully. The Russian PEOPLE are simply fantastic. They've had to endure under some of the worst, and most oppressive, governments the planet has ever witnessed. As my fellow Brooklynite once sang, "I LOVE Russian composers!" Brooklynite = Danny Kaye
Very nice and eloquent mini -essay on Russia! Just one correction on Borodin. He wasn’t a medical doctor, but received his Doctorate in Chemistry. His profession as Chemist was the most important to him, composing was a hobby, you said it right. Borodin, Professor of St Petersburg University, was known in Europe, as serious researcher, who spent several years in Germany, working in labs along famous scientists. Several inventions, and new chemistry laws bear his name. Another very familiar name Rimsky Korsakov also wasn’t serious about composing. He spent most of his life as a career Navy Officer. He loved sea and his music well reflects it!
Thanks for your correction.😊. I just quoted Wikipedia without checking. I was really surprised when I read his background. I play violine as an amateure but still I am so impressed of how he distributes "tasks" among the members in the quartet. Masterpiece. Democracy. Being a norwegian close to Russia, remembering the liberation of the northern part of Norway by russian soldiers who sacrificed severe losses. I shall never forget. Russias image created by USA is totally out of proportion. Unjustice!!! And if you take a look at russian culture with an endless row ot great composers and worldclass musicians and not to forget novelists it is a shame. If it had'nt been for the russians we had been speaking german today. USAs need of having enemies is more and more clear. Thanks for your comment.
Danbi Um was born to play this piece. Sentimental and poignant in every best sense of both terms! Every glissando of hers here is like a passionate sigh of pure love, just like the inspiration behind this movement calls for. (The whole ensemble is great, of course)
Aleksandr Borodins stringquartet no 2. Nocturno. One of the most brilliant quartets ever. Russian mighty soul that is what we feel in every second of the quartet. The unexpected paradox in the music history. Educated medical doctor, professor chemistry, composing just to relax from his scientific work at the university. The Nocturno one of the most beloved music pieces in chamber music. So vituoso complicated counter-punctual interaction between the instruments. And this wonderful group of musicians grasp this genious composition from the deep of their hearts. Masterclass. Thank you so much. From Norway.
I wish I could personally thank Lyle Neff for putting this together. Kismet is my favorite musical because it incorporates these timeless Borodin classic melodies. And this is my beloved.
I have loved this song ever since I was a little girl, and it is still so beautiful even when I play it so much, and it still almost brings me to tears.
One night many years ago, i sat in lower manhattan without any water on a stormy, humid night. i heard this song on the stereo. It changed my life. thank you sir!
@@raymondgood6555I made this comment as an awestruck high schooler learning this piece for a school event lol but still; I don't think I literally meant that facial expressions = musicianship, but rather the ability to connect to the music on such a deep emotional level that one cannot physically help but express it, which looks different for every musician. I've played with those that play their instrument as if their bodies are possessed by the spirit of the music (and I've heard audience members complain that it can be distracting as well!). Some people are naturally more or less physically expressive than others, but I love to see people sing through their instrument with whatever passion the composer intended to convey, especially when it is expressed in the face. Personally, it brings me closer to the musician.
@@elizabethkim1504 Horowitz also said in a video that he could not show emotion physically when playing the piano, the emotion came through his fingers to the piano.
The composer Alexander Borodin ( 11/12/1833 - 2/27/1887 ) was a polymath ( surgeon, important research chemist, educator and famous composer ). This Quartet No.2 in D major is one of his better known works. That beautiful main theme of the third movement produced the popular song This is My Beloved. Every one of the players did a good job. Watch also the cellist.
Borodin has never been a surgeon! He was a Professor of Chemistry at StPetersburg University! His profession as Chemist was the most important to him- composing music was his hobby. Information, found on Wikipedia , not always correct, that’s why cross- referencing is important.
I'm in the garden at sunset, sumer is ending and breeze is already changing, listening this unforgettable Borodin's cuartet I just travel trogh time to some sunsets when I was just a very young girl and listening this music opened every time the vail to invisibles and beautiful realms..music It's always a kind key opening so easily the door to such overwhelming dimensions
This has got to be my absolute favourite classical piece. It digs deep into my soul. I find it very emotional. I first heard it 18 years ago on a CD given my pregnant wife for the baby. We used to play it for him as a baby and recently I passed his room and heard classical music. Turns out he loves it. He's also gifted at school.
This piece is so very romantic. To me it touches at everything that life is all about, beauty, true and everlasting love. All things beautiful, flowers, birds and romance.
I wish I saw it that way. The first time I heard this piece was while watching The Little Match Girl, so I will forever associate this piece with the sadness the film portrays. Truth be told, I like your interpretation better.
As I recall, Borodin wrote this as a sort of love letter to his wife during a holiday in Italy or Switzerland or perhaps a memoir of that excursion. I may be mistaken, but I heard or read that somewhere.
Yes, when we pursue the truly Sublime persistently enough ... God grants it to us. My beloved wife and I happened to fall rapturously in love to another eloquent piece, Chopin's Concerto No. 1 ... and today, married 43 years to this radiantly beautiful wife and mother of our 9 children, I embrace the love and faithfulness of my life's partner, a brilliant pianist herself who, like me, fell under love's enchantment to music of love's wonder.
After watching the sun setting sun down on the plain after finishing the farming work on the 1st day, you can see how the husband and wife of an old farmer are joined. What a relaxing music!
oh my goodness ! i always love seeing danbi perform ! she’s a huge inspiration to me , and one of the world class soloists i love to follow . warm regards to her and i wish her only the best and success in the future . much love ! 💗
The first time I heard this great piece was actually in the Nostalgia Critic review of The Cat in the Hat. Then I heard it in the emotional Disney short film “The Little Match Girl”. I heard it again this morning on Iowa Public Radio Classical. It is because of this kind of music that the arts need to always have funding along with PBS!!!!
I also heard it in the Nostalgia Critic review of The Cat in the Hat and it was only after we were driving home after our trip to France in June 2018 that we heard it on RTE Lyric (one of the radio stations we have in the Republic of Ireland) that I wanted to hear it again.
I just watched the Nostalgia Critic review. I've seen it a few times, and I knew the song from the Little Match Girl. I just happened to be in the mood to hear the song on it's own so...here I am!!
I have never heard such great sound and depth from any of these instruments! I originally heard this song from the Disney short, but today it came up on spotify on my classic radio and I recognized it right away.
Those last echoes from every player at the end literally sound like the end of a most beautiful, miraculous life with the last note on the cello signalling the last glimpse..
This music always makes me tear up. I met this quartet ansemble the day i have first snow in 2018 The snow was falling in silence. I wish i could sleep forever listening to this music with the first snow of the year Otherwise with the flake of cherry blossoms
Borodin (and , more broadly , the mighty handful) is an example that one shouldn't put too much weight on being academically trained or starting from a younger age .. art is the most damn subjective thing out there ! One could make a case that spending your whole life boxed in a professional environment can stifle creativity , and that people who come from different areas of life have different things to bring to the table ! As a self-taught composer , the mighty handful give me hope ..
This piece of music has haunted my radio for years, It's so beautiful, there is something so captivating and it seems to touch the soul and it has a happiness and a joy to it, also contains a little bit of melancholy. I love it and wish I could play it.
The second I heard this play on the classic channel on the radio whilst I was trying to look for a good radio station which played relatively old tracks, my whole world just stopped, absolute beauty I heard, I listened to it from start to finish, what a listen, all I could catch was the composer's name and it took me quite a hell long time to find the track from that, damn was it worth it.
This is the music that Disney used in their short animation of "The Little Match Girl." Lyrics were also added to become the popular song "And This Is My Beloved."
Il y a trois ans j’ai commencé à me plonger dans la culture russe, sa folie, sa sentimentalité, ses émotions , cela a un tel point que je suis allé chercher l’amour la bas, c’était un appel tellement fort que Dieu m’a écouté. Dans 5 jours je vais traversé l’Europe et quitter la France pour aller retrouver la femme qui m’attire. Quel sera mon sort la bas? Je verrai, j’ai confiance mais quel pari fou!
One of my all-time favorite string pieces, if not THE favorite. It just grabs you and pulls you along with it, like a tide or undertow, and like one would do if caught in the grip of such a force, you just go with the flow. I like to put this on loop mode and have listened to it for hours on end.
bravi tutti.. borodin.. a chemist.. I especially love 5:10 ca.. the violists bowing is so right.. the opening with the cello.. nice.. the violins' rich sound.. in that order..
I found this through a Disney short back in 2006. They used this music on The Little Match Girl, which was a special feature on a limited edition version of Little Mermaid
Bad taste. They should write their own music, not to expropriate Borodin’s. Hollywood is notorious on that. There is no regard for the original music, that gets cut, mangled and pushed as their own. Anything goes. Tired of Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Liszt? We have Borodin, Grieg, Rimsky Korsakov, Khachaturian in bits and pieces in commercials, cartoons and Broadway productions! They cannot object- they are dead!
I saw a short film from Pixar studios about a little Russian girl selling candles. When nobody buys candles from her, she goes to a dark ally way where she lights her candles. Every time she lights her candles, she dreams about being with a family. As the candlelight gets darker she starts to die. This song is what they played in the background.
i Decide to throvv this up just for some background music. i Actually am very familiar vvith this. It's going to be on some of my old classical cds and tapes.
I have discover this masterpiece thanks to the Disney cartoon a long time ago. I have never expected to cry while watching something from Disney. This music helps a lot the short animated movie "The Little Match Girl"to be very touching. I tottally agree with you Merribelle !
@@luilui2121 The piece was quite literally used as the soundtrack to a short film of "The Little Match Girl" that Disney produced in 2006. They weren't comparing it to anything. Link below, since you undoubtedly wouldn't stoop to looking up such a thing yourself. www.imdb.com/title/tt0816562/?ref_=rvi_tt
Lui Lui u r the one who needs to grow a brain u can’t just say this to some one and it is the music used so u r wrong and why should she care what u think? 😒

They are all very expressive ! But David Finkel’s cello’s sound is excellent !!!
ESQ forever !
One of my most favorite musical pieces. I will never get tired of listening to.
The first violinist's facial expressions are unmatched. She emotes just as much physically as she does musically. That's real musicianship.
I KNOW RIGHT
I don’t agree. Rubinstein was the ultimate pianist of the last century. He never made facial expressions.

Il y a trois ans j’ai commencé à me plonger dans la culture russe, sa folie, sa sentimentalité, ses émotions , cela a un tel point que je suis allé chercher l’amour la bas, c’était un appel tellement fort que Dieu m’a écouté. Dans 5 jours je vais traversé l’Europe et quitter la France pour aller retrouver la femme qui m’attire. Quel sera mon sort la bas? Je verrai, j’ai confiance mais quel pari fou!
It's one year now. How has madness impacted you?
Absolutely beautiful with a lovely performance by the musicians. Thanks for uploading. :)
This keep my inspiration up👌 thank you!
One of my all-time favorite string pieces, if not THE favorite. It just grabs you and pulls you along with it, like a tide or undertow, and like one would do if caught in the grip of such a force, you just go with the flow. I like to put this on loop mode and have listened to it for hours on end.
One of my all time favourites, and one of the most romantic pieces ever written for sure, beautifully played... thank you for giving me so much joy 💖
Beautiful
The ending (6:53 onwards) is one of my favorites in all music. It seems to wrap up all the themes from the piece into a final, hopeful, but quiet end.
Bellísima interpretación, la que más me gusta. Esta bella obra tan bien interpretada me volvió a la vida.
A beautiful arrangement and a wonderful performance by all four musicians ….utterly enchanting , thank you!
bravi tutti.. borodin.. a chemist.. I especially love 5:10 ca.. the violists bowing is so right.. the opening with the cello.. nice.. the violins' rich sound.. in that order..
Unbelivable Sound by Mr Finckel.. David, please come again to ESQ!
Very nice congratulation guys this harmonies touch my heart
This is played so brilliantly! Well done!!
Первая скрипка - просто чудо!
Lovely and joyful!
Used this music in the film Kismet I think
Fatigué de travailler,
ce nocturne de Borodin me pousse à aller en Russie 6 mois
Puisse Dieu m’aider dans ma démarche
I found this through a Disney short back in 2006. They used this music on The Little Match Girl, which was a special feature on a limited edition version of Little Mermaid
Great music for great componist
Wonderful performance...👏🏻
Borodin por ser principe la realeza como se opuso. ❤Mexico 🇲🇽 👏👏👏👏
absolutely sublime!
1953 musical "Kismet" used this as the base for the song "And This is My Beloved". Katherine Jenkins does a sweet version.
Bad taste. They should write their own music, not to expropriate Borodin’s. Hollywood is notorious on that.
There is no regard for the original music, that gets cut, mangled and pushed as their own. Anything goes. Tired of Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Liszt? We have Borodin, Grieg, Rimsky Korsakov, Khachaturian in bits and pieces in commercials, cartoons and Broadway productions! They cannot object- they are dead!
Glad to be here listening, thank you
So beautiful.
I saw a short film from Pixar studios about a little Russian girl selling candles. When nobody buys candles from her, she goes to a dark ally way where she lights her candles. Every time she lights her candles, she dreams about being with a family. As the candlelight gets darker she starts to die. This song is what they played in the background.
I think it's from disney
I like the girl's sad expression when she begins playing.
And this is my beloved
very good ~~~~!!!
siento como mi alma llora de alegría y paz al escuchar este trozo de perfección
Very nicely played. Certainly the viola player.
i Decide to throvv this up just for some background music. i Actually am very familiar vvith this. It's going to be on some of my old classical cds and tapes.
El princiipe fue una persona lo conoci en su biografia. Gran persona. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Qué maravilla!!!!! Gracias por compartir.
3:50 makes me cry
The Disney Short "Little Match Girl" brought me here ^_^
Go watch the Disney animated short "The Little Match Girl" it features this piece! 💗👌🏻🙌🏻
I have discover this masterpiece thanks to the Disney cartoon a long time ago. I have never expected to cry while watching something from Disney. This music helps a lot the short animated movie "The Little Match Girl"to be very touching. I tottally agree with you Merribelle !
It's also in Ren and Stimpy
Really... How could you compare this music to Disney Crap? You need to grow a brain.
@@luilui2121 The piece was quite literally used as the soundtrack to a short film of "The Little Match Girl" that Disney produced in 2006. They weren't comparing it to anything. Link below, since you undoubtedly wouldn't stoop to looking up such a thing yourself.
