Eine Sternstunde der klassischen Musik! Wer sich die Zeit nehmen will, dieses Quintett mehrmals zu hören, wird immer neue Schönheiten darin entdecken. Und: Absolut brillante Interpreten! Sie spielen die gesanglichen Passagen nicht nur betörend schön, sie lassen in manchen Details einen "musikalischen Witz" funkeln, dass es einfach begeistert.
chaque oeuvre de beethoven nous démontre qu une existence serait trop courte pour savourer toute la magie des partitions du maître de bonn, merci aux musiciens
Спасибо Вам огромное, какое чудо.
There is so much 'conviviality', energy and inventiveness in early and middle Beethoven. His achievements from Day One are simply staggering.
It embarrassed me to say that this is the FIRST time I've heard this piece and I've been listening to Beethoven for most of my 58 yrs. I cherish him so much 🎶❤️🎶
My absolute Beethoven favourite!
Perfect and dynamic and precise performance 🎉🎉 👏 👏 👏
To Xpress my adoration and admiration for Beethoven' creativity, I need more than diction. I am counting on my tears of joy as an xpression of true appreciation and love of his works.
yes everytime
I know of no better recording or live recorded performance of this piece. It is a joy to listen to it.
petrucci music library has a recorded version. well done but a fraction of the energy.
Very good listening. A great way to begin the day. I would recommend it to others. Bravo Beethoven!
A fabulous rendition of this early masterpiece, by the greatest musical genius in history. Breathtaking, sublime... wondrous.
Toni Brentano Of what side you take that picture? it s good
Personally I think Ray Stevens and Wierd Al Yankovich are far better in their arrangements.

This quintet is just fantastic!
s+Ricardo da Mata Quieren saber que es musica de buen gusto? bueno, ya la sescucharon,
Absolutely fantastic and completely underestimated music in a brilliant performance!
A wonderfully rich, characterful performance with a superb recording worthy of the playing and the music.
Ihre Interpretation fasziniert mich bei jedem wiederholten Hören bzw. Schauen aufs Neue.
Wunderbarer Beethoven !
Excelente interpretação de um muito expressivo quinteto de cordas do meu grande amigo Ludwig. Ah, como me faz bem à alma!
OMG so good! This is a must listen for any fan of the op 18 early quartets. There is so much energy, creativity, and robustness! The final movement especially is a wild ride with the tremolo stroms with the first violin runs, and has a unique structure as well.
Excellent comment, you represented my feelings about this outstanding performance. Bravo
Quel Génie Beethoven!
Et vous vous êtes rudement gentil de partager avec nous cette Belle Musique.
Un Grand Merci.
Simply wonderful!
Sanity and civility in this mad world.

Com sempre l. V. BEETHOVEN EL MILLOR .
,ARRIVA AL FONS DE L´ANIMA HUMANA.
Don't understand why this early masterpiece of Beethoven always has been ignored on the stages. It deserves better.
Its simply very, very hard to play!
While there's no fine line, Op 29 arguably can be included in Beethoven's middle period.
Exquisitely superb exhilarating performance.I’m spellbound.❤
love those BIG FAT cello parts..ahhhhhhhhh.
A Grandiose performance, thanks !!
I like this and will be listening to it many times. Surprising for a Beethoven work that while obviously very well composed, it's developments, or sections, lines, thematic arcs, whatever you want to call them, are more fluid and long-phrased than typical later Beethoven, where contrast is so highlighted and often sharp and extremely animated. Fate isn't knocking on the door here, it's not even in the neighborhood. Nice work, Ludwig, you're well on the way at this point.
Quite by chance, I "discovered" this quintet about a year ago. Since then, I 'd played it very often on my MP3. I never cease to wonder how it is that I've never heard of it, much less heard it. It is absolutely magnificent and is played here with the delicacy and the humor (I believe: for example, 29:42-29:58 and 32:10-32:24)) that Beethoven imbued it. The players all, as one, enhance the joy of listening with their exquisitely delightful performance. Somehow, I fancy that Beethoven brought this masterpiece to Old Haydn, tossed it on the old man's escritoire and said "I think you'll have to admit, Herr Haydn, that I have arrived!" And Haydn, glancing at the score jealously muttered, "So you have; so you have, Young Beethoven. One day I shall pass my mantel to you." Beethoven then nodded, but to himself said: "I am already wearing it, Papa."
Haha!!! I could see some form of this conversation happening between Hayden and Beethoven. So cool it would have been if they were alive today and streaming and doing vlogs together and everything... man
this piece was stolen and printed incorrectly . Herr Beethoven had to sue to get it back.
@@johnwalter9696 You piqued my curiosity. Who stole it? why? How did B get it back? Thanks
@@waggishsagacity7947 forgive me if I don't remember all of it. It was a student /apprentice well known, he was to deliver it to the printer and therein lay the problem. I believe I remember something about a misprint and the original was "misplaced".
@@johnwalter9696 His punishment was that his name was forgotten. On the other hand, he had a good taste in delightful music. Thanks. I'll check what Jan Stafford has to say about the theft of the "Storm" quintet.
Che meraviglia!!
What a great discovery! Thanks for viewing it!
These players are so good and play together so wonderfully! It would be nice to see more on here about their background and future plans.
Genial Beethoven
majestic exuberant and nothing mozartian or haydnish in it pure beethoven where he got thus far with the string quartet idiom is far beyond the wildest imaginations of any of those composers i wish that comparisons can be left out
Me to
Totally agree
Disgusting , thé facility to refer Haydn and mozart for pré eroica Beethoven
extraordinaria interpretación.
Estupenda composición del maestro Beethoven injustamente poco reconocida en su época y en la actualidad. Magníficos intérpretes también. Muchas gracias por subirla. Un placer escucharla. El genio de Bonn se manifiesta igualmente en sus grandes sinfonías como en estas obras más desconocidas, que a mí particularmente son las que más me gustan
breathtaking
Love the gesture of a cellist on 10:13 when he joins end of the cadenza! True and natural reaction for this fun moment!

Прекрасно 👍🏻
Thanks for the post.
Love this piece, great performance...
simplemente exepcional que toquen ellos y ke cante el coro mormon del tabernáculo de salt lake. saludos desde chihuahua México.
Wow that's gorgeous
Amooooooo!
Querido brasileiro assistindo este vídeo, seu gosto musical é incrível
Fantastic and inspirational.
I like my Beethoven explosive and this performance has fireworks! Bravo!
exceptional
Such a wunderful piece....just discovered...
I'll listen to it again!
+Ricardo da Mata and again and again and again
V Vallee Indeed!
Nice performance!!!
Great!
Such an amazing performance here; Their musical interpretation, collaboration, chemistry, and live, incorruptible energy rivals the great string quartets of our time- Emerson, Tokyo, Borromeo etc. Who are these guys? Where and when are they performing next ?!
yes, fuller and richer sound to it. Not just a whiny cello, the beautiful voice of the VIOLA mmmm so nice.
Прекрасная музыка
A very rich sound
AHHHH THAT CELLO
Een meesterwerk!
Ludwig, muß es sein?
Es muß sein!
The economic benefits of this beautiful quintet were donated, in its entirety, by Beethoven to Regina Susanne Bach (daughter of J. S. Bach), who was in misery! This gesture is a sign of Beethoven's humanity.
Thank you for this information. It is most interesting. Will you kindly provide more detail (and perhaps a few citations)?

Authentic Beethoven.
It is generally considered that the string quintets are (with the quintet with clarinet) the apex of Mozart's chamber music, while the string quartets are the apex of Beethoven's. Nevertheless, Mozart wrote many beautiful quartets, and Beethoven wrote a quintet: this one. The work is entirely worthy of Beethoven's signature. Simply, Betthoven preferred the four voices of the string quartet to express his visions. At least we have this quintet, his unique and worthy contribution to a genre which includes many masterworks.Beethoven wrote this work at his beginnings in 1801. After that, he devoted himself to the string quartet, which was probably more suitable to his inspiration. There was also the competition of the six quintets of Mozart. This quintet is a work of the young Beethoven; he cannot challenge with these works of his elder admired colleague. The only quintet with two altos which can compete with those of Mozart is probably the op. 111 of Johannes Brahms. Nevetheless, this work of the young Bethoven is firmly constructed, and has features of its own which reveal the style of Bethoven, still in formation at that time.
If you love this treasure, you may be interested in Beethoven's last project, also a string quintett in C-Major, from 1826. From sketches for this work I composed a whole string quartett: www.gerdprengel.de/string-quartett.html
@@gerdprengel7616 Thanks !
I totally disagree since this quintet by the master has stood the test of time in the evolution of Beethoven's creativity and and it contains many melodic and forward looking modulations that influenced many later composer as to say that it is lesser than Mozarts' quintets is a mere personal taste not necessarily based on artistic creative assessments since Beethoven has turn his back on quintets for quartet composition it does say something very profound to serious music lovers 🤴
@@prof.jasonsaid2718 Of course not - it is not a matter af personal taste. it is based upon strict architectural and harmonic musicologic criteria. This does not mean that this quintet is not excellent. It certainly ranks among the best ones in the musical story, together s with the 6 written by Mozart and the op. 111 by Brahms, adding of course the quintet with two cellos by Schubert. The quartets of Beethoven are by far the best ones ever written, perhaps with Bartok"s. This can be correlated to Mozart's and Beethoven's writingfor orchestra. If you carefully study these orchestral scores, the altos are n more often divided i two parts in Mozart's scores than in Beethoven's. A famous example is the beginning of G minor 40th symphony by Mozart. This should push conductors to have enough altos in the orchestra, which is not always the case. It should also be noted that the great string quartet writers of the first half of the XXth century (Bartok, Schoenberg, Berg, Webern) never wrote string quintets (one densely contrapunctal string sextet by Schoenberg, his 'Verklarte Nacht op. 4 in D minor).
great :)
Incidentally, this is Beethoven's only string quintet.
This was his second, his first was Opus 4
Also very recommandable is the quintet opus 4, an adaptation of the octet opus 103... but Beethoven made really a new composition of it... hence why he considered it worthy of being incorporated in his numbered catalogue of published works. Together with this marvellous opus 29 a great achievement in his entire output and regrettably underestimated in current concert practice...🤔👍😊
There's a 2-cello string quintet of the Kreutzer Sonata published after Beethoven's death, and the arranger is not identified on the published score. Most authorities believe it was arranged by Beethoven, for multiple reasons both musical and personal. I find it compelling, making great use of the rich materials in the original sonata. Here's a lovely performance: ua-cam.com/video/gk8c1niCSFc/v-deo.html
Thank you very much for this very interesting additional info !😊👍😊
Beethoven is young, but the music is mature Beethoven-like.
I love this piece it's my favorite. My schools quintet is playing it.
how did that turn out? did you post a recording.
The greatest quintet of them all.
I do not think that it is significattly better than those of Mozart and Brahms. It is a work of the 'first manner', when all the genius of Beethoven was not still developed. The C major and the G minor of Mozart seem me to equal this one, to say the least.
@@gerardbegni2806 Even as a loyal fan of Beethoven, I agree with you. It is a great work, but far less than later works.
I wouldn't say it's the greatest but certainly the most underrated of them.
Oh, thank you for the 1 year reply.
Near the end of his life Beethoven was concentrating most on the tenth symphony, Requiem, Overture, and a string quintet.
10:00 EU ADORO ESSA SENSAÇÃO (ESSA ENGANAÇÃO)
questo è Beethoven! siamo come nel nucleo di una stella dove si realizzano le razioni termonucleari ........
Il secondo movimento di questo quintetto è uno dei brani più squisitamente mozartiani mai scritti da Beethoven.
my halftime show.
My family is playing this once prepared. Brother David,cello,Me, viola, Dad, John viola, Sister Anna, violin 2, Mother Carol, violin 1 Isn't that cool
credo che ci sia un altro quintetto scritto da Beethoven ( op 4). Lo puoi trovare su yt.
Comunque concordo. I quartetti sono di gran lunga superiori, specie gli ultimi ma anche l'op 18 si difende bene!:)
"Discovered" this work while going through the string quartets. I'm listening to the Alban Berg Quartet for the string quartets. Is there a video by them available? (This is not a veiled criticism of this performance.)
by the way you play nice cello, sorry do not mean to insult your style it really adds the bottom wonderfully . . . just a viola lover .
You can hear it at Jerusalem YMCA Thursday 29th August
*Beethoven's String Quintet* Quite as profound, mysterious, glorious and probing as anything else he ever wrote - and better than most of them - or as good! There is something of Mozart's C Major Quintet there, and a lot of Haydn.
most amazing piece of music. love the energy of the players. new to this genre any advice on similar pieces by any composer? or is beethoven simply the best?
+Neville Churchill thank you neville. in the last month i have listened to hundreds of hours of quartets and quintets. mozart brahms to list a couple. the schubert piece was nice. but this piece continues to amaze every time. i am certainly open to other suggestions you may have.. btw this is actually v vallee's husband john walter. not related to anton walter.
+Neville Churchill And Bruckner
thank you
Brahms clarinet quintet (clarinet + string quartet) in B Minor is very nice.
The Beethoven late quartets are THE best - but they are not usually "accessible" till we have become familiar with a lot of other music (a bit like the late plays of Shakespeare or the poetry of TS Eliot). Among the most accessible chamber music we can take Haydn op 76, Mozart Clarinet Quintet, Beethoven Septet (and then the Rasamouvsky Quartets), Mendelssohn Octet, Brahms Sextets and Clarinet Quintet, Schubert Trout QUintet and Octet. "Live" performances of Shostakovich String Quartets are very exciting but "harder" on youtube. But chamber music is an inexhaustible field.
This is the unique example of a string quintet in Beethoven's work, following the six masterpieces written by Mozart. One can generally see that Beettoven reduced the number of genres written as long as time ran. In the XXth century, Onlsow wrote a lot of quintets. thier qualiity is respectable, but the only true masterpieces are thq quintet of Schubert (for two cellos), the two by Mendelssohn and the two by Brahms.
It may not be unique. The 2-cello string quintet arrangement of the Kreutzer Sonata was published without attribution after Beethoven's death, but most scholars believe it was Beethoven himself who arranged it. Nice performance here: ua-cam.com/video/gk8c1niCSFc/v-deo.html
😊
Like Mozart that wrote his Quintets K 515 and K 516 after having completed the Haydn Quartetts and the Hoffmeister, Beethoven wrote this Quintet after having completed the Quartets op 18. A very interesting work, clearly influenced by the K 515 in the same Key, the structure of first movement and the melodic line of the first theme are almost similar. The greatest difference is in the final movement that is pure Beethoven. This Quintett in turn influenced the Schubert C Major's but unlike Mozart's and Beethoven's that used two violas, Schubert used two Cellos giving a darker and more dramatic tone to his music.
I haven't heard this piece in ages. Energetic early Beethoven at his best. (And tweaking the "rules", like the second theme of the first movement being in the "wrong" key -- A instead of G.)
You really have to ask why this piece is not played as often as, say, the Mozart or Schubert quintets. Yeah, I know about Beethoven's quartets being the Everest of classical music and all that, but isn't there room for one more? I mean, all you gotta do is hire another violist...
There is only one Everest. Let us say that the quartets are Himalaya :-)
Really young? Real young B is mature Mozart and almost dead Schubert....but pre-natal Elliot Carter. One of the best compositions of B that the concert hall has ignored. Useful to get this out there.
There are parts of the last movement that sound very operatic. There are tremolos in the violas and cello sounding very orchestral. It almost sounds like a Rossini operatic overture. Lots of emoting with pauses and sudden fortissimos and lots of drama.
Just keep the camera at the wide shot PLEASE !!
- Excellent sound! In some passages i might believe they're using gut strings...
Also pleased to listen to other than the usual Quartets, ok, a prestigious curent of Works in Classical tradition, but i find the "one-way" preference a lot of "old-school" critics has accorded to it as a bit "prevaricative" in respect to other combinations such as this one.
Third movement = Violin Concerto?!
Neil Walsh yup
yay our Larry rules
Wasn't this Rossini's favorite that time they met?

Un inusuale, sorprendente, ironico, sarcastico, Beethoven
12:26-13:26
10:50.
I temi possono somigliare a quello che volete, è il trattamento che Beethoven ne fa a renderli tutta un'altra cosa. Stupendo quintetto. Peccato sia l'unico di Ludwig, ma già, ci sono i quartetti che non hanno pari.
1st movement

Two violas is always better than one
