When I listen Beethoven, I feel purged of all anger and mental impediment. I feel afresh with renewed life and optimism. Beethoven is alive and well and thus I am as well !
old style superb performance. playing from the heart. chapeau!
That third movement is among the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. It moves me to tears. Just divine. Wow. Thank you Beethoven. Thank you to the performers too. Peace to all from Philly
From Beethoven's "Late Stage"; the music is other-worldly, in a class and a genre all it's own. Beethoven always lifts my spirits and gives me hope that there is always some beauty to be found in this weary world. Nicely played by these young ladies.
Thank you, the slow movement brought me to tears.
The 3rd mvt. of this piece is one of the most beautiful sequences of music ever composed. The first 3 minutes especially...sublime, the sound of the passage of time.
PG 89: Impossible to argue with that, but of course, Beethoven inserted so many little (and huge) gems in his music that an assessment like yours has added weight.
BS
@@maratom34 Personally, I love intellectual (if brief) responses; ones that show thoughtful, pondering, comprehension and judgment.
B.S. certainly tops this list. Of course, I would like to know what you REALLY think. Must be very ellightning. Do tell.
@@waggishsagacity7947 I agree with Thomas. PG's comment is a statement about himself, not this performance. Then your comment speaks of "little gems" meaning you don't grasp Beethoven's genius -- as if he is picking daisies or something. Then, thinking that PG's fatuous comment has "added weight" because of it. Yes, I concur:
BS
@@timharris2291 : I gather you didn't like my comment. That's okay. Unfortunately, I don't understand yours. Please explain.
0:24 1st Mov Assai sostenuto - Allegro
10:49 3rd Mov Molto Adagio - Andante
26:26 4th Mov Alla Marcia, assai vivace
28:38 5thMov Allegro appassionato - Presto
Much appreciated!
Thank you for your kindness!
Thank-you:)
This should have more views than it does. Great performance. My favorite one.
It's wonderful that this is a women's quartet, who give, get and gain as much as any male or mixed ensemble from the score; yet the worth of their performance is not because they are women (though that surely plays major part) but because they play with as much passion, understanding, devotion and skill as any others, sink into her
..what's it like being the only male alive that understands women?
Very sensitive and expressive playing for such a young group!

先ずはこの動画をUPして下さったことへの感謝です。この渋い名は知れていても敬して遠ざかるようなベートーヴェン最後期のそれも室内楽に41万フォロアー（2020年1月現在）もいらっしゃるとは音楽界の大ニュースです。もし、懐疑的になられた方は是非映像オフにして聴いてみてください。この深遠な緩徐楽章がなんと涸れかけた心（間もなく84歳です）に沁みてくることか。若き音楽麗人達に幸あれ！
Masterfully played. One of my favorite string quartet pieces of all time...
so wonderful to hear and see these wonderful women musical artists . the graceful and fluid movements of their bowing adds so much to the whole experience
Divine interpretation that reaches heights as well as depths; that requires the last movement as famous as the 5th symphony
Well done ladies superb playing.
A wonderful and revealing performance of one of our treasures. Bravo.
Cheers from snowy Vienna, Scott
Warmest thanks for posting this excellent performance.
The " Prayer of Thanks from one healed of sickness" movement is one of the greatest treasures of western art...Nice performance, you 4!!
Most excellent Ladies!
Can't stop to listen to the third peace: It is heaven on earth!
BS
one of the best piece of music i ever heard ( sorry for my bad english )
Beethoven ( completely deaf when composing this quartet ) was a supergenius and this quartet is one of the best in music history
Simply beautiful music
Elengante! Superb! Bellasima! Best Rendition of Beethoven Strings I've ever heard. Simply Outstanding!
Most beautiful performance of "Beethoven string Quartet No.15" on RUclips.
Fully engaged in the piece and with precise timing. A truly masterful presentation. Brava, ladies!!
+holywells I'm beyond impressed!! Truly amazing. ..!!
An excellent performance of one of the best quartets. I wonder how the girls became so mature in all meanings of the word.
This is a beautifully feminine interpretation of one of the most complex and wonderful string quartets on Earth.
Thank you so much. 🍃🕊
Excelente execução desse op. 132 de Beethoven por tão jovens musicistas, integradas em perfeita sintonia com obra tão avançada dentre os últimos quartetos do Mestre. Parabéns !!!
Completely outstanding performance of this very difficult piece!
There is a wonderful balance between the instruments here with the leader on top but not over the top. Fabulous togetherness with a dramatic interpretation which closely respects Beethoven's markings. I would love to hear them live and see if the musical impact is still there in the concert hall.
by far my favourite of his quartets..and played so well!
very good
Bravo!
Bravo 👏 👏 👏
captivating and brilliant! bravo! wish I was here to witness this!
I have yet to hear a piece as beautiful as the molto adagio in all of music.
very good Ladies. you captured Beethoven true essence
magnifique interpretation!!!!
nice performance of this towering work of GENIUS!
Beautiful and emotional piece. Great performance.
Esplêndida interpretação. Obrigado
My favourite recording of the 132 is by Quartetto Italiano. However, this performance. WOW! especially the third movement was sublime.
Quelle délicatesse dans l'interprétation de cette oeuvre magnifique !
Great performance!
OMG! If they were so young and brave 9 years ago, how will they be today! I only I only imagine the best for them (incredible technical quality, and superb sound quality)
Beethoven always awaken my senses and inner passion. Very relaxing and beautifull concerto. Thank you.
There's a slight error. Description says "Beethoven String Quartet in A minor, Op.132 No.15", piece is actually "Beethoven String Quartet No. 15 in A minor, Op.132". It's Beethoven's 15th string quartet. To say "Op. 132 No. 15" means it would be the 15th piece in opus 132 - which would really be a long opus!
Exactly what I was thinking.
ssrrapper I wish they would have noticed your comment, they still haven't changed it. Pieces that have very long opuses would be something like Rachmaninov's collection of etudes or his thirteen preludes etc.

correct!
Ta gueule.
masterful
This is magnificently exceptionally tremendously remarkably astonishing
The music's the thing. Who can deny it? Well worth viewing.
incredible playing at all levels...bravo !
Magnificent composition (best of all time?), magnificently played.
Very good. Fluently performed!
I like it, so much.Great Beethoven.-
Beautiful !!!
One of his most passionate works. So much intensity in the last movement. In one of his novels, Alduos (sp?) Huxley used this quartet to try to prove the existence of God. I thought he came pretty close.
En fait, il attedait beaucoup plus de l'humanité que des dieux dont il avait une conception plutôt deiste, révolution française donc..
Marvelous, I'm very happy in a transcendental world hering this interpretation. My best wishes to these interpreters. Descartes de S Teixeira, São Paulo. Brazil
This performance of the op 132 Beethoven String Quartet with Mari Lee, Yoojin Jang, Lenor Katz, and Alice Marie Weber is exquisite: nuanced, sensitive, warm, transcendent. Congratulations! As usual the video recording by Simon Yue/SoundProfessionals is superior to almost everything classical on the web.
Wonderful sight. Beethoven would have been blown way. One expects 4 middle aged men struggling away, insisting on their vitality. Instead we have 4 young women whipping off with ease this so-beautiful and deep quartet.
Bennett Markel "middle aged men struggling away, insisting on their vitality." sort of like beethoven?

What an ageist and sexist comment.
+Bennett Markel Yes, instead we have 4 women pretending at theirs, right???
If they wrote the piece, I would be impressed, but they snd like every other academic ensemble....
GREAT!!! Bravo!!
i forget where i read this, not sure if it was attributed to beethoven or someone else. but when this piece is played there is a vision of someone ill reaching up with his hands to clasp the hands of god reaching down to him...this reduces me to tears everytime i hear this as thats all i can think about.
very profound and soothing imho , the motif at 18:30 and earlier is pure brilliance and some minutes after that it gets intensely beautiful
sublime!
Wonderfully done! Your Dankgesang is sublime ...
Two ads before the program, an ad between every movement. Lovely.
this opus 132 Was written at Beethoven last 2 years on this earth and he had fall very ill where he was battling for his life he wrote this most spiritual piece of music and the magic in it it is inner themes were built around inner counter points were Einstein will be so proud to do while Beethoven wrote when battling death adn life. it has a Hymn of thanks for recovery( the second movement) which it stand alone in all the western music tradition as the most profound adn most spiritual and complex piece of music ever written.. even Bach wold be speechless .. it isd my Bible adn gospel adn Koran ion my every day life without me being religious but beethovonish...
Great!
Best ever !! Thank You Very Much !!
Except for the absence of the second movement, this is as good as it gets! If he had been able to hear it, I believe Beethoven would have loved this performance, There is something otherworldly about this Op. 132.
For some reason, the second movement was omitted. Otherwise this is an outstanding job. The Holy Song of Thanksgiving is sublime. Both violinists have excellent ensemble sense. The first violin cuts back when others must shine. The other first violin contributes very substantially and is not afraid to step forward when necessary. (Notice that I do not say "second violin", but instead "other first violin". Both are first violinists; they just play different parts. This also holds true in orchestral music and in Bach's concerto for two violins.)
MAYBE THE SCHERZO WAS OPTIONAL.....
Beethoven is never optional
Beethoven is adored in the orient, like Japan.
20 July 2019 Keith Stevenson composed while deaf. This amazing and well worth listening.
My opium of a heartless world.
+for the lulz understood... I feel you. And congrats on choosing a healthier answer for that frequent heartlessness.
Lovely, lovely string playing.
I prefer heroin but ok
Fiquei hipnotizado!!!! Que lindo Beethovem voces fizeram. Sucesso!!!
応唱し会話するような，とりわけ最後の楽章は素晴らしいと感じました．
아... 정말 아름답습니다. 93.1 라디오 듣다가 15번 안단테에 반해 다시 한번 검색해서 들어왔는데 우연치 않게 한국인 음악가가 두 분이나 속한 4중주단의 곡이라 더 놀랐습니다.
Mari was born in Japan. Not sure of her heritage, though. Is she korean?
Her family name is Lee that doesn't exist in Japan.
This is one of the finest performances of this quartet I've ever heard. But oh boy, no second movement! The quartet hardly makes sense without it, providing as it does such a lyrical respite between the surrounding movements. I had to find a version elsewhere then come back to yours for the Heiliger Dankgesang!! I hope you'll consider doing a complete version some time. I have the Lindsays, the Busch and the Hollywood doing this, and you're fully up there with all of 'em!s
Exactly! Why was the second movement left out? This is like the Emperor saying to Mozart, "Too many notes!"
I'm in love with this group. So, when I say , nasty things. Forgive me. In all, You guys Freaking Rock!!
BELISSIMO!
Fantastic playing! Please put back the second movement, though! It looks like it was recorded, but taken out of the video.
Wonderful. One of my all-time favorite Beethoven pieces.
ditto.
12:13 and 29:46 - my two favorite moments, totally opposite ends of the spectrum too
excelentes
In Thomas Mann's novel 'Doctor Faustus' there is a mini lecture on this piece which he sort of co-wrote with Theodor Adorno which is delivered by a fictional character who also gives a lecture on the question 'Why did Beethoven's last piano sonata only have two movements?' - even though beauty may be in the ear of the listener some level of objectivity might actually reside in aesthetics....
Colm Tobin, in his book ‘The Magician’ which is a fictional binding together of Thomas Mann’s life story, depicts a performance at his request in T M’s home of this quartet, with his thoughts while it is being performed.
Si se puede OIr MUSICA hay que oír cuartetos es lo mejor de todos los compositores
SECOND MOVEMENT IS SKIPPED. WHY?
Love! 13:40
I vote for the A minor (15th), but I love the last of the Rasmunsky (sorry for bad spelling) with its fantastic fugue in the last movement.
It is @16:00 that the tearing at the heart starts. So much suffering in his music.
what a wonderful group of players! Stunning performance here! I still don't understand why there is a movement missing though.
que sonidos tienen las cuerdas, que bello,me tocan el alma.
yes
pog
28:40 Quizás lo mejor de todo Beethoven.
mein bruder
This is sort of Dvorak quintet-esque. If anyone fells me? Can't think of specifics.. just a Dvorak quintet. Super pretty
une pure merveille par 4 femmes sublimes de beauté de talent , de sensualité divine , ce qu exigeait la musique du maître de bonn ,, l un de mes quatuors préférés un pur joyau ,,
Robert Holt, Aldous Huxley makes reference and description of this quartet in his novel "Point Counter Point", (Wikipedia).
+Nabil Kanafani What struck me when I read that passage in "Point Counter Point was the fact that the character talking about the quartet (just the slow movement!) 1) had never heard it before, and 2) was thrilled by the technology that allowed it to be recorded on both sides of a single record. (!?!) Beethoven isn't the only one with reasons to be thankful.
For the aficionados, Beethoven's String Quartet in A minor, Op.132 No 15, played beautifully by four young ladies, and scored for two violins, viola and double bass.
You mean a cello?
Yes, cello.
The second movement is missing. Performance jumps from end of the Assai sostenuto to the beginning of the Molto adagio. Why did you leave out the Allegro ma non tanto?
O que posso dizer a não ser que foram formidáveis e esplendido.
Thank you for the COUGH !!!! Perfect timing
You must cough professionally
