Finally a string quartet ensemble where violins sit at the sides and viola & cello at the inner seats!

Thanks for the lovely program, nice video recording and upload!

How nice, how close, how calming, and humble this is! Thank you! Each instrument behaves independently, flows separately, but still peacefully and feels together friendly. Resembling a world in which instruments themselves also have their own feelings...

Magnificent music played by an awesome group of musicians.

2, 500m up in the Italian Alpes, frying garlic and getting outside a nice Gavi, with fileds of snow and b right sunshine - this is the perfect accompaniment! Thank you x

First time I hear The Mozartists. I enjoyed a lot, you transmit a controled emotion and high technical quality. I wish your ensemble future success, you deserve it. I will listen to your upcoming videos.

What would be the world of music without Mozart.

[violinhunter]

Beautiful, enjoyable playing. Bravo!!! At 3:01 we come across one of those rare solos for the second fiddle, (very well executed, by the way.) There's another in Mozart's 20th piano concerto and another in his 23rd piano concerto. There's one in Borodin's second symphony, in Beethoven's third symphony, in Bartok's concerto for orchestra, and in Verdi's Traviata toward the very end. All of them are crucial solos.

Not hammering to any thunderous conclusion, but a blending of souls to express a pleasant interlude.

[DorothyOzmaLover]

Stellar performance w/ absolutely uplifting and emotive pieces.

A light delicious Viennese confection.

Comfort is the essence of performance

This wonderful performance is to the ear and to the mind and to the soul, and impeccable and inspirational

Μαγεία! Τι υπέροχο πρωινό κάτω από την υπεραιωνόβια ελιά να ακούω αυτές τις υπέροχες μελωδίες, δίπλα ο Μάκο, το καναρίνι μας να παρασύρεται κι αυτός και να συνοδεύει τους καταπληκτικούς μουσικούς. Έρρωσθε και Ευδαιμονείτε.

Wow, among top cleanest recording versions. Props to the audio engineer for modern microphones and processing with mic noise profile removal.
