Wunderschöne und lyrische Interpretation dieses ethnisch doch perfekt komponierten Streichquartetts im gut phrasierten Tempo mit seidigen Tönen aller Instrumente. Einfach wundervoll!

The sound is good, like how they play the opening chord, but....in the viola solo there are slurs between the notes. It's fine to take two bows, but it sill has to *sound* slurred, and this just sounds like two separate notes. It's not the same, doesn't feel the same, and it doesn't mean the same thing. IMO, that's just lazy. No question this violist could have played it that way.

Are you talking about the violist's first few notes? It's really difficult to conserve bow for that slur and also give that descending note accent it needs
