Brahms: String Sextet No. 2 In G Major Op. 36 I. Allegro non troppo (00:00) II. Scherzo - Allegro non troppo - Presto giocoso (14:39) III. Poco adagio (22:26) IV. Poco allegro (31:25)
A very special performance. My favourite music, full of dreams and joy, both to play and to listen to. Totally absorbing, concentrated playing and superb ensemble. Overwhelmed. Wish I had been there but with such good video I can listen again. And again!
The tree musicians earlier known by me are: Clara-Jumi Kang, famous solo violinist (I have heard her in many conserts), Boris Brovtsyn (I have heard him in several top chamber ensembles). And if they are presented from left to right: Timothy Ridout. But all six of them are of course at the same high musical level.
aside of the tremendeously exelent intrepretation, the camera work and video edditing are qorgeous as well. these shots from upstage toward the hall, dark, doted occagionaly with varios lights, reminding a sight of the universe, giving the sansation of creating the music floating in an endless space - are ingenious.
Apparently the videographer either doesn’t like the two violists, or couldn’t figure out a way to hang the cameras to get a close up of these two handsome fellows. A bit 1st violin heavy, but overall a very bright and cheerful interpretation of a quixotic opus. Bravo!
Quixotic? You must be referring to your own comment. Post something on YT and everybody's suddenly a critic. Here's a wonderfully lyrical, introspective piece for a unique combination of instruments -- Brahms' own -- and you're interested in 'handsome fellows' and 'videographers' and you think it's 'violin heavy'. But ultimately you find it 'bright and cheerful'! How quaintly condescending. Oh, where is Kylie Minogue when you need her?
Brotsvyn is really good. He is what he does.
Clara Jumi Kang! awesome as always

As a Brahms biographer (and great Brahms admirer) said, Brahms is popular music at its highest level.
Two of the best violists in the world! And the others are amazing musicians too.
My thought exactly !
Utterly exquisite performance.
Perfect. Magic.
Breathtakingly beautiful!
The beginning to 1:48 felt like one phrase, one breath. That was incredible.
Fantastic playing in this Brahms perhaps most introvert String Sextet.

III. Poco adagio (22:26)

Sei meravigliosi artisti danno vita a questa musica""divina""
Thank you for posting this performance!
Sensational! Thank you.
Excellent ensemble playing by well-known musicians.

And if they are presented from left to right: Timothy Ridout. But all six of them are of course at the same high musical level.
Sorry, Amahai Grosz! But what does it matter? They are all of them top musicians.
And sorry for spelling wrong, english is not my first language. "The tree musicians" shall of course be "the three musicians".
So perfect 🥰
Thank you for sharing
Bravissimo!!
I love Brahms
Brovtsyn🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Like his playing!!!👏👏👏

Luke anybody can be a film editor; they're almost universally clueless.

Kenji Alt brought me here.
Came here because of J. Kenji Lopez-Alt
Мой любимый секстет Брамса. Он таинственный, в некотором плане печальный.

Lovely muscians mmmm
Usually Brahms is not lacking in imagination in musical themes. In this work, I frankly don't understand where the listener's attention wants to lead😩
Ok. Thank you!
I prefer to listen to a musician who has had a musical idea and submits it to the aesthetic judgment of the listeners😀👋
Well, at least you're 'frank' about your own lack of imagination. As if anybody cares.
For me Brahms rarely fits my narrative; but as time goes it changes, And when it does i know Brahms is waiting for me
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Chapter by Chapter / Verse by Verse !!!!!!!
Interesting dynamics (not sure Brahms would recognize them). Try the version with Quartetto Italiano.
