    이것이야말로 앙상블이다.
    진정한 앙상블.
    악보도 필요없이 서로의 소리와
    호흡을 완벽히 숙지하고 연주하는 앙상블.
    단연 최고다.

    Smetana is my favourite composer, and here I find the best interpretation of his music and personna. Thank you very much.

    Nekonvenční hudba, mistrovsky provedená. Důkaz toho co všechno se dá se čtyřmi nástroji dosáhnout. Dnes by Jiřímu Novákovi bylo sto let. Děkujeme, tam do nebe!

    I purchased this particular ensemble playing this beautiful work on the Supraphone label in 1965. Forty three years later I got the first warning of tinnitus and, thanks to Smetana, I knew what it was. Fortunately, unlike him, I'm not professionally involved in music. So the sense of loss, whilst often distressing, has not been as overwhelming as it would have been for this unfortunate man of genius. And the upside is that I've been able to re-educate my ears even more towards more intimate and introspective musical forms, with string quartets right at the top of my appreciation list.

      The irony was that Škampa ended up suffering from tinitus too, with other members possibly as well but not sure.

    Truly a Masterpiece!
    The sustained E at 25:47 constitutes the tinnitus in his life, which agonoized him until the grave..

    amazing upload. I was so lucky to meet skampa and have lessons with him in Fiesole...amazing musician and fun person. Big love for life he had and incredible experiences.
    What an incredible age string quartet got with quartetto italiano, BOrodin, Alban Berg, Amadeus, Emerson. Their "old school" sound will be my favourite anytime.

    Wonderful music. I've long felt Smetana, particularly in this Quartet, is speaking directly to me reminding me of my roots. The performing artists even look like relatives.

  • @afrofinka

    Yes indeed, they chose the option to memorise their repertoire, first to be closer to each other and feeling the same vibes through music. Later, as they started progressively having sight problems, learning by memory became necessary, reinforced by the fact they weren’t wearing glasses at all. I can imagine how aware they were about presenting themselves as one single ensemble, without any music in front of them, reaching a high level of transcendence. That’s why the Smetana Quartet is unique in the history of chamber music.
    By repertoire, I mean the one for quartet, they used to wear glasses for pieces requiring more than four musicians, like the Dvořák String Sextet Op.48 and Piano Quintet Op.81

      These two quartets were both legends of their times and also respected each other highly. Smetanas started to use music only in their last years. They played by heart pretty much everything before.

    Bedřich Smetana's "From My Life" is a stunning string quartet that showcases the composer's ability to capture the essence of the human experience through music. This deeply personal work is a reflection of Smetana's own life, and it offers a profound glimpse into the joys, sorrows, and challenges of the human journey.

  • @MrSwifts31
    @MrSwifts31 9 лет назад +31

    String Quartet No. 1 in E minor.
    Its autobiographical nature is made explicit in the finale, which is interrupted by a piercing shriek on high violin - symbolizing the ringing that went through Smetana's head as he was losing his hearing. By early 1884 Smetana's illness had reached its tragic final stage. He could no longer write music and slipped into dementia with occasionally violent episodes. A gala concert and banquet celebrating his 60th birthday had to take place without him. In April he was admitted to an asylum in Prague, where he died a few weeks later

      I assume you are a millennial and I appreciate the fact you are listening to good music...however..this is NOT a song. It is a "piece of music". A song is a piece of music for voice. Music education has taken a dreadful fall in the USA. Had you sung in choir a few times a week in grade school or played in band, you would have been made aware of the correct terms for music.
