These musicians are superb and the third Razumovsky String Quartet is perfect for them demonstrate his virtuosity and elegant style. Great performance and thanks to have posted it!

Wonderful Music, Great Performance!!!

Too fast some of you say? This sounds almost leisurely compared to that of the Emerson Quartet.....
-
who came here to find victors look alike? haha

@cobaltjones Yes, I found that CD set in the local library, Wow they make a terrific noise don't they!! Apparently, Schubert upon hearing this said something like "after this, what is there left to write?" Something tells me he was right.

Best fucking stumble ever! Jesus christ this is amazing!

like a huge wave flooding to me !

Tokyo quartet is my favorite and the best in the world <3
-
I own the complete Beethoven Late Quartets by them. Whatever you do, acquire it. They make a magnificent sound. Their playing is equal to the summit of western civilization that describes the quartets. You can't listen to Bartok or Shostakovich without hearing Beethoven's LQs, which he said were written for a future civilization(I still don't think it's arrived).

He was a year below me at college - very nice chap and played the Rococo Variations note-perfect with a college orchestra.

Little Japanese man playing a big viola. It's huge, that's what she said... :D
-
The play the Razumovsky quartets brilliantly, but I've never heard them playing the late quartets. I'd love to hear that, and I wonder how it'd sound.
-
who's SHE??
-
I hear the viola is a huge 17"...that's what she said...
-
chyea! i just came back from a concert like an hour ago...they were do bomb. btw they perform on the "paganini quartet", stradivarius instruments which paganini aquired and played them during the 19th cent. they r on loan fronm the nippon music foundation. =D just a few facts
-
exactly!!the whole quartet uses stradivari instruments!!i had the chance to listen to them (live) and the sound was really amazing!!!bye
-
If I am not greatly mistaken, the members of this quartet play with Stradivari instruments (The famous 4 instruments N.Paganini had in his own private collection)
