Dear GoYa quartet ..... Do you know that in his book "style and idea" (indeed a compilation of several paper written over many years) Schoenberg used this peculiar quartet as a demonstrative démonstration of his provocative title "Brahms the progressist"? Schoenberg's démonstration is quite impossible to contradict. 🌹🌹🌹 Go on, GoYa quartet !!!! 🖤🤎💜💙💚💛🧡❤💗
Approaching the end of the first movement (say 7:30), you should listen to the cello when it starts that fatal rhythm that will conclude the piece. Well done madam!
What a great performance! All four musicians so very special, especially the second violinist! Towards the end perhaps a bit too angry (cello?). In this mood, Brahms can do with a bit of tongue-in-cheek attitude. Hope to hear you more often. Meanwhile Sylvia has paved the way! compliments to sound & video
The musicians seem to simply have looked at the score and trusted their (excellent) intuitions. I find the result so much more convincing than so many other interpretations. Because Brahms was so reluctant to publish a string quartet, because Schoenberg so much stressed how modern this quartet is, because people at the time had issues with the short motives that hindered the recognition of Schumanns violin concert, interprets typically seem to have tried to overstress what they understood as being romantic long lines, whereas Brahmis actually focused on an original combination of comparatively short element and gave them some almost impressionist colours.
Dear GoYa quartet. An exquisite performance indeed, but I have a question. At the end of the second movement, why does the second violinist 'triplify' the eighths that would otherwise contrast the triplets in the first violin. Brahms use of 2 over 3 is everywhere else, I don't understand why we would avoid it here. I have heard other quartets do this, and I don't understand why. Is there some tradition I am missing?
Sorry for our late reply !! In Urdu, the poetic term GoYa embodies the transporting suspension of disbelief that occurs when fantasy becomes so vivid that it briefly merges with reality. Remember those incredible stories that make you lose track of where you are and what you're doing? Those tales that elevate you to unimaginable heights? That feeling-that is GoYa. For us musicians, each piece we interpret is a story in itself, and GoYa captures that suspended moment when time momentarily ceases to exist. It's a fleeting instance when we take the listener's hand, guiding them into the unfurling of the musical narrative.
something about this performance really resonates with me more than the others...
Their arm muscles.. what a powerful 1st movement!
A very convincing, enthralling and powerful performance by the four magnificent artists. Also splendid sound quality and camerawork. Thank you !
Ok but this viola sounds from heaven. 🤩
cool little venue
Wonderful performance that touched me to the core! Thank You!
Incredible sound! What amazing arms that cellist has!
Wonderfully and full of sensitivity and fire. Brahms and Billroth united again in this glorious performance. Please come to Santa Barbara, California.
This is really a magnificent performance. i am discovering this music one more time. thank you.
A performance that could not be bettered in evocation, bringing out well what this composition has to offer.
the quality of the audio recording is incredible! And great performance as well.
Superb performance.
Beautiful!
Bravoooooo !!!
Absolutely delightful. I love the silky sound in the 3rd movement, which often sounds so scratchy. Well done, I hope to hear more of you.

O professor Gurgel recomendou essa maravilha.

the string quartet seemed to be the perfect assemble for Brahms.

Why the name? ...GoYa...
From Pokemon; gonna catch them all

Better even than hardcore
Vibrato should not be a nervous constant trembling, should be only an expression tool….should not become a natural part of the sound, always there.
what a strangely unimaginative , dull performance...………..
haha i hope you get a new pair of ears
what a strangely unimaginative , dull comment
