The smiles at the end of the second movement (22:14 - 22:31)! 😊 And that presto wow! 00:34 I: _Allegro_ 14:38 II: Intermezzo: _Allegro ma non troppo_ - Trio: _Animato_ 22:36 III: _Andante con moto_ 32:44 IV: Rondo alla Zingarese: _Presto_
Agree with all of the laudatory comments here. For me, there were also numerous small revelations: The delicate phrasing and 'breathing,,' the clarity of enunciation, and the bringing out of inner voices I hadn't noticed in other performances. Simply beautiful.
A superb version of this famous quartet, known for its difficulty. The spirited fourth movement, the rondo alla zingarese is given an exhilarating performance; it was good to see the smiles in the string players appreciating the fast and furious piano part, so well played by Pierre-Laurent Aimard. More Brahms Chamber music from this ensemble, please.
I will write the same comment as I wrote about Brahms third piano quartet: "This is profound music, so profound that I had to get really old to understand how profound it is. Now I love it. It has taken almost a lifetime. Maybe the best experiences come late in life?" Still, in comparison I like this first one better, maybe because of its a little more elegiac feeling. This is my favourite interpretation on UA-cam.
A stunning performance of this complex and beautiful music. A further delight is the camerawork, taking us close up to the players, the intensity of their facial expressions and the brilliance of their fingerwork.The warmth and togetherness of the players infuses the music, and comes through to the viewer/listener. A great experience.
In chamber music it is always "we", not "I". The togetherness in music. So it is perhaps not so good to talk about individual musicians. Anyway, since this uptaking from 2002, Lisa Batiashvili has had a wonderful career. About the other musicians I dont know, I hope of course they also have had their careers. And thank you all for this quite wonderful interpretation of Brahms first Piano Quartet!
@randompianist5425 I agree, and my hearing isn't the greatest. And lukefer (this guy's gotta be kidding) would prefer mic'd instruments in the concert hall?

Yes, their smiles - enchanting!
So extremely beautiful!!! Shows entire emotions of Brahms when he was writing this piece. So much to handle.
The camera people have done and exellent job! Seldom we can see such an active camera as in this, well aware of the music
Very beautiful music, among the best chamber music by Brahms! This ensemble plays with such an inspiration that I can nothing but enjoy.
The Intermezzo at 14:38 is one of the best movements in chamber music! I have at last discovered the full quality of this music.

Wonderful! ❤

I agree completely!
this one is legendary. I've been watching for 10+ years.
Absolutely stunning performance!
the andante is my favorite movement of all of Brahms' works

Absolutely marvelous… Thank you!
Exelente interpretación. Música pura.

fabulous !!!
I Like the heavy Sound
Laat movement starts at 32:45 not at 30:15
RIP Vladimir Mendelssohn!
in the presentation text ,it is not a violin but a viola
Plus "Silvia Marcovici" is a violinist as far as I recall.
...and Finale starts at 32:45😇... but the performance is just great
靈魂人物是鋼琴Aimard
The piano still dominates and we can barely hear the strings when they are in the same register. Why can’t classical concerts be mic’d?
That's not true at all, I can hear every instrument perfectly
@randompianist5425
I agree, and my hearing isn't the greatest.
