4:46 why was that cello solo single-handedly the most majestic thing i’ve ever heard in my entire life

[realdanielshock]

3:46 the second violin going ham is my favorite part lol

[gracew]

This was beautifully preformed, the viola sounded really great!

[ellasmullen]

I have a week to learn this song for a chamber music camp... thank god for this video where I can actually hear the cello.

[BetterMe]

Outstanding violist in everything they play, it seems. As a cellist myself, I appreciate that! No quartet is good without an outstanding violist! You guys are all awesome.

[audreylane]

Love that the viola gets a good part and you can hear the viola

[chinmayk]

First 30 seconds!!! The viola backed by that pizzicato on cello!! Literal chills

[NedFlanders]

Everytime I listen to this piece it reminds me of an old western book I read as a kid; Caddie Woodlawn.

[celestinc]

Very beautiful! Viola's power!! From France ;)

[Sekar]

It is such a pity that the marvellous Dover Quartet's performance of the American Quartet on YouTube is split between different locations and the third movement is missing altogether.

[LukeShalz]

I don't know how, but this man captured the very essence of 19th century America.

[roseearl]

Imagine the huge smiles on their faces after the video ended, that was truly beautiful.

[joeowens]

This new quartet is a spectacular gift to all lovers of chamber music! May they stay together, and play for us a long time.

[Gwaithmir]

This is probably my favorite piece of classical music.

[victoriaguitar]

I just adore the cellist and violist. The sound they make has such beauty and emotion. ❤

[txbooklvr]

Love the violist in this ensemble! Definitely one of my most favorite quartets, love the way Dvorak writes for viola and cello specifically

[jonteske]

I love the video format with panorama of the entire quartet all the time. My quartet (high level and performing quartet) consisting of three Ph.D lady researchers, two medical researchers (also has a violin degree), one economist, and me, a retired intelligence analyst. We are just starting this work together (we've all played it elsewhere, me on the two violin parts .) For people who actually play this format is superior for us to observe bowings, even fingerings to some extent and far more useful than looking up someone's nostrils. I also love the "living room" setting. We rehearse at my house, play for free at churches, civic events and senior centers. We all are in a local symphony. While I'm primarily a violinist, I've moved to viola from violin 2 when we lost our original violist [the classic "fourth for bridge", so I am observing Milena with great interest. I can and have played viola at a symphonic level, but not quite as "natively fluent" as I am on violin.
