The two fist SQ's, in C and A minor, were more or less dramatic or at least full of the uttermost sadness. This one is in major mode and in a very clear and transparent expression. It begins just like a SQ dialog by HAYDN. Brahms' lovers do not know his quartet enough, and this one is the least known of the three. And however, it exhibits a specific feature of the composer's mood and genius. ❤❤❤

These girls are as synchronized as ZZ Top!
I'll be looking for more of this wonderful music; it is so ... 3 dimensional.
Thank you for posting.

Opera densa e complessa, nella quale Brahms guarda a Haydn e Mozart attraverso lenti che, in modo sorprendente, giocano con il linguaggio classico, lo reinterpretano, talvolta lo distorcono e lo forzano. Una scrittura moderna e non così facile all'ascolto, nella quale Brahms esibisce una sorta di neoclassicismo ante litteram. Esecuzione magnifica da parte di queste bravissime musiciste.

Beautiful space and performance. Thank you.

The andante is one of the most beautiful movements ever! Superb execution.

[NothingFunnyAboutTheseCarpets]

This is such a special piece and very underrated. It really stands out from everything he wrote and i love it so much. Each movement is perfect

[lorenzodani]

Bravissime! Martina Forni ancora di più

II haven't always loved Brahms; I thought he was too heavy and moody for my taste. But this major-key quartet is suffused with bright tones, isn't it? And I love this ensemble. They are always warm and unified. ❤❤❤❤

My new favorite performance of my favorite string quartet. Gorgeous playing!

[andriesbartels]

Erg mooie uitvoering. Fijne tempi. Samenspel gaat uit van gelijkwaardigheid. De balans tussen en kleur van de thema's spreekt mij aan. Hulde !

[ivanbeshkov]

Love this quiet moment 11:23. This is my favorite Brahms quartet, not sure whether because it was the first of his I heard or because it fit my mood in 1975. Heard it dozens of times that year, heard countless quartets since. If there's a better one, I'd like to hear about it. Recently I heard Mozart's No. 14. Unsure whether it was Haydn or Mozart, I said to myself: whoever wrote this is the greatest composer. Would have to hear both quartets again to ascertain whether this Brahms is indeed superior to all others ever written, or whether nostalgia plays a role.

That was such an amazing performance! Thank you so much.

[michaels]

Oh how you made that agitato sing; like no others I have heard!

[patriciagreathouse]

Can you tell us the instruments you play? They sound wonderful! The mastery of the players makes them really sing.

This is Brahms' third string quartet op, 67, and definitely not op. 67 nr 3. (just one quartet in that opus number).

[rogernortman]

This quartet is not nearly as good as the rest of Brahms' chamber music.
