I felt their interpretation was too methodical. The dynamic changes didn't sound raw nor did they sound organic. I so enjoyed the tone of the entire piece however! Well done!
And yet Philip Glass commissioned them. They sound better here than in the official recording, however. Also, compare this to Kronos, the only other quartet I've heard that plays it as well. You can listen to both on Spotify.
This just kills. These guys really know how to play without vibrato, how to float it. Love it.
Best interpretation I've found so far. The tempo, dynamics, rubato, it's all amazing. What a great performance!
I love this piece so much. I had the pleasure of hearing Kronos play it in SF in the 80s & have not heard it played so beautifully since. Bravo!
ROCK ON!!! ..
I mean.. my gosh, that was just exquisite
Fascinante
Wow. Just wow.
Gorgeous performance.
They are really, really good!
Genuinely would've cried through the whole thing
Magnifique
belissimo ! --------- - - BRAVO ! ! !
Bravi! 🙏❤
Thanks for posting this very thoughtful interpretation. The quartet version is more meditative than the string orchestra version...
Un chef-d’œuvre qui survivra au XXe siècle dont il restitue le caractère profondément tragique.

Wow the music was fantastic. But I must say, these 4 don't look like any Wellesley College students I've ever seen.
They are a visiting musical group performing at Wellesley College.

At the end even the truck is saying: "Back the fuck up, that was a hell of a performance"
you can hear a cough at a 1:20 😂
... I love this... but I wonder, is this music or textile? No seriously.
It's clearly music. You're not uncovering anything profound seeking otherwise.
Interesting interpretation, albeit not very 'minimal'. Too bad the video and sound are not properly synchronized.
