A lovely rendition of one of the world's greatest masterpieces. I grew up with the 1951 Budapest String Quartet recording, and this version by the Quatuor Ebène is the only one I've heard so far that compares in emotional depth.

Splendide ! Une des plus immenses pièces du Beethoven tardif interprétée avec une grande force expressive ! J'adore !

Les Ebène nous délivrent une version parfaitement dosée de ce chef d'oeuvre intemporel.
merci!

ca pue la merde on le fait en cours musique de vieux pourquoi on doit faire sa

[@dominiqueberus1289]

Comme quoi en ne cherchant pas à révolutionner quoi que ce soit ... on peut arriver à quelque chose de complètement sublime.
Parce que là les Ébène attaquaient l'un des tops de la musique e tous les temps, et comment !!!!

[@roybrewer7865]

wonderful playing. . .

[@fritzullrich]

after all: the best interpretation I have heard so far

[@francoisbrousseau4409]

Extraordinaire ! Une des meilleures versions que j'aie jamais entendues de ce sublime chef-d'oeuvre, qui est pour moi le mont Everest de la musique occidentale. Avec des tempos originaux, inspirés... parfois à la limite de la transgression (dans le Presto et dans l'Allegro final). On peut encore réinventer les grands classiques. Chapeau bas !

[@gonzaloperezbenavides9415]

Same here! A wonder! These boys dare and achieve!

[@user-gu3gv9nq1d]

Astonishing splendid performance! Such an architecnonic of sound, form and dramaturgy!

[@claudiabartelt5609]

quite skilled. Best version yet.

[@sebastienfrancey3012]

Absolument magnifique! Le 6ème mouvement (30:20) est pour moi le plus beau du morceau. Tellement d’émotions quand je l’écoute! Merci pour votre travail.

[@nikokino190]

Pour moi aussi c'est le plus beau mouvement, il me donne envie de pleurer tellement c'est magnifique

[@beluch2768]

Wonderful playing.

[@John-fn7dj]

Heavenly quartet, played by celestial team!

[@pimogens]

Very very very
good interpretation, I hear so many details that I have not been aware of before. The new viola fits in admirably. But whatever you do, do not change your camera man/woman, it is so good with a fixed camera, I can follow the interaction between the players.

[@Indo49]

An excellent interpretation of Beethoven's String quartet nr. 14 c# Op. 131. Das Zusammwnspiel! did Quatuor Ebène

[@renzo6490]

There needs to be a substantial moment of silence after the last note is played. There is a good reason. It has to do with the vibrations in the air that remain after the music stops. The music is still radiating outward, outward and it needs a space of silence to move into. The cacophonous beating of hands, the rowdy applause, beats it back and obliterates the afterglow that is absolutely necessary for the FULLEST enjoyment of the music. The music needs to be surrounded by silence. That way, it can be heard better. It's like clearing the palate between courses at dinner. At the end of a piece, the audience should hold back their enthusiasm for a few seconds. Let the music melt away.

[@quinto34]

gutsy, cool!

[@jordanivanoff4906]

This is BEETHOVEN!

[@mihalymok7428]

Bravo! Timing&tempo fabulous, especially the andante parts, kept far from cheapskate heeding ❤

[@militaryandemergencyservic3286]

have you noticed the painting of the tree in both the paintings on the left and right? why?

[@jjim07]

That audience needs to stop being so boring towards the end there. Phenomenal work!

What is that big painting behind them? Does anybody know?

[@FestivalWissembourg]

In the center is the Spring by Botticelli, on the left the Annunciation also by Botticelli and on the right, the window which is inside the Annunciation.
