Wonderful music by wonderful musicians! A sad note in march12th 2023: RIP Lars Vogt, we'll miss you

Yeah! splendid, wonderful, tonality and dynamism sensibility is so beautiful and graceful. Concert Mistress Jansen well done at best, Oh! much more beautiful lady, especially her bowing articulation is so clear. Piano, Viola, Cello part is veryvery nice melody and rhythm touch (91yrs. Japanese) sorry strange English. Anyway this music is beautiful music.

Jansen is such a glittering virtuoso that she tends to steal the stage. But make no mistake: All these players are among the best anywhere. In particular I always seem to gravitate to chamber performances with Brovtsyn and I am grateful to be introduced to Amihai Grosz, whose tone and vibrato made a huge difference in this piece which has a lot of lovely highlights in the viola.

Wow, the pianissimo from the pianist at 22:00. Exquisite. What a beautiful instrument. Great timbre.

[wideskies]

This work evokes many poignant memories of my childhood as my father used to listen to it nearly every night. I am now aged seventy-five years and most thankful to be able to watch it in performance. Truly lovely!

[marceloverzoni]

Extremely beautiful chamber music played by first class artists. A gift for the soul during the pandemia!

[henningviljoen]

Wonderful music for the soul in this crisis moment in the whole world.

[DrQuizzler]

I just swung by to revisit the first few bars of the Scherzo, but what can I say? It's Dvořák!! I couldn't pass up a chance to enjoy the whole thing. Wonderful playing and balance amongst all players. Interesting to watch the visual stoicism of the cellist in contrast to the sheer drama and playfulness of the first violinist's expressions underscoring the moods of each passage. Each player led masterfully as Dvořák gave them their moments. Great stuff. I'LL BE WAITING for the next one!! 😉

With everything that happens in the world, right now, this is so desperately needed: art and passion. And international cooperation at the highest level. Respect!

[jchavens]

Thank you, Dvorak and friends, for helping me get through this pandemic.

Escucho dos o tres horas diarias de buena música y hacía mucho tiempo que no escuchaba un obra de cámara con una interpretación tan maravillosa como la de Janine Jansen, Vogt, Brovtsyn, Grosz y Maintz. Cada uno en su parte y en perfecta conjunción, han debido alegrar indeciblemente a Antonin Dvořák, porque es sencillamente perfecta, en pasión y técnica,  la respuesta a la inspiradísima partitura de Dvořák, que es uno de los mejores quintetos de la historia. Adicionalmente, gozo viendo cómo el rostro y la postura de Janine Jansen reflejan su plena identificación con la obra que está haciendo. Aplausos de media hora por mi parte. Sólo con esto, el Festival de Utrecht se habría ya justificado plenamente.

This needs more than just 70k views. This piece slaps so hard!

[milenvivaldi]

Oh gosh! The second movement! I’m crying!!!

[pibbles-a-plenty]

The expressiveness of this Dvorak quintet captures my attention and keeps it - played so beautifully by Janine and crew. ❤🎼🎶🎶
