Mozart: Eine kleine Nachtmusik | Gewandhaus Quartet with Stefan Adelmann (double bass)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- It’s one of the most emblematic pieces of classical music ever: Mozart’s Serenade in G major (K. 525), widely known as ‘Eine kleine Nachtmusik’, performed by the Gewandhaus Quartet in the stunning surroundings of the Rammenau Baroque Castle in 2005.
(00:00) I. Allegro
(05:22) II. Romance (Andante)
(10:56) III. Menuetto (Allegretto)
(13:06) IV. Rondo (Allegro)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) composed this lively serenade in the summer of 1787, at the height of his success. While the piece was originally composed for two violins, a viola, a cello and a double bass - as is the configuration of this performance - it is nowadays more commonly performed as an orchestral arrangement.
Out of the many serenades, divertimenti and cassations Mozart wrote during his lifetime, ‘Eine kleine Nachtmusik’ is doubtlessly his most famous work of chamber music. During the late 18th century, such light entertainment ensemble pieces enjoyed immense success and were often performed during social occasions, particularly in outdoor locations such as gardens and parks.
The four-piece serenade opens with an allegro in sonata form, followed by a slower, lyrical second movement and a minuet, and finishes on an energetically joyful rondo. The melodic lightness and effortlessness typical for this genre of music is present throughout all four movements.
The Gewandhaus Quartet (also named Leipzig Gewandhaus Quartet) was founded in 1808 and is considered one of the first professional quartets in the world. It is composed of the soloists and concertmasters of the Gewandhaus Orchestra. Throughout the years, numerous premieres of quartets by renowned composers have been performed by the Gewandhaus Quartet.

I had no idea that Mozart actually wrote the serenade for this combination of strings - I'd always heard it arranged for orchestras. I must say the original is delightful, so much more intimate and immediate, beautifully played too. Appreciate it very much, thank you.
We're so glad you could learn something new through our channel - that's the goal! ☺ Thanks for your kind feedback.
Niceky pladeby every one.really enjoyed
Excellent
What??? You must be kidding.
For a better visualization watch the beginning of the movie AMADEUS.
@@guillenmanejando3831 I was talking of the listening experience, not visualisation. But the movie Amadeus is one of my favourites and Salieri's relationship with Mozart is portrayed brilliantly in the film.
You have to appreciate the hours and years that these musicians spend to achieve this level of ~magnificent~.
Let us not forget the composer who produced such a composition for them to play. Without the composer you have nothing.
Hard to believe this "large" sound is coming from 5 musicians. The genius of Mozart. Even when this is distilled down to an ensemble it still sounds so big. Of course it helps to have stellar players at this level performing it. Loved it!!

The "large" sound is due to the genius of the architect who designed the room in the Baroque castle where the musicians are performing.
Do you suppose serenades by other composers in Mozart's time had to be played by philharmonic orchestras because they lacked the "genius" to make a small ensemble sound "large"?
Serenades in Mozart's time were meant to be performed by small ensembles in grand residences with resonant acoustics, not in recording studios or concert halls.
@@herrickinman9303 I'm quite sure others sounded good. Vivaldi for example (who died in 1741) who preceded Mozart by a few years got incredible things from small ensembles of no more than 12 to 15 pieces but usually smaller, typical of his era. He was considered baroque, but if you listen closely, he foreshadowed the coming classical music. Mozart, who died in 1791 was on the forefront of classicism and wrote for bigger orchestras along with many many pieces for smaller ensembles. I was just simply pointing out how good this piece was along with the players even when distilled down to this size ensemble vs the size it was written for. No more, no less. Of course others sounded good. But there was a reason Mozart was Mozart. Lots of things occur to me by the way lol! However, I am just a simple man, stating the obvious in simple ways.
You should watch roman kim play this solo using only 1 violin..go look him up in youtube.
The acoustics of the room also helped.
Die kleine Nachtmusik: oft gehört aber nie so wunderschön : ausdrucksvoll aber zart, feinsinnig, elegant💕🎶💕🎶💕🎶💕🎶💕🎶💕🎶großartig 💕🎶💕🎶💕🎶💕🎶
Sind ja auch "Gewandhaus-Musiker", Musiker mit Herz und Seele!!!
Ja!!!!
Danke! Wunderbar gespielt! perfekte Tontechnik! Ich habe es sehr genossen! MOZART - mit das Wertvollste was das Leben zu bieten hat!
Genau
This piece sounds much better being played by a quintet than how we usually hear it with a full orchestra. This is definitely how it was meant to be.
What a beautiful creation.
My family is extremely religious, no music is allowed in home.
But i am an adult now and can enjoy music in my smartphone.
DW just introduced me a huge new world of music.
Thank you DW,
Hail music.
Thanks for your kind words. It's nice to hear that you enjoyed the music😊
Your family is not religious. Rather they are members of a cult. Only cults like the Taliban outlaw music.
Islam?

Yes ya habibi.
I'm glad you're enjoying these beautiful music now...
I do not play a musical instrument nor do I know how to read music. But I enjoyed these gentlemen playing music composed by one of the greatest composers of all time. Thank you Gewanhaus Quartet, Steffen Adelmann, and Mozart.
Finally, an actual quintet. So many versions of this are just quartets. The double bass is sorely missed.
But, correct me if I am wrong, isn't it like double bass' line is same as cello's here except an octave lower?
@@turquisestones And? That's often the point, to reinforce the lows.
@@ansemvanverte I see. I didn't know that. Thank you.
I highly recommend Eine Kleine Nachtmsik for anyone who is looking for an introduction to classical music. It's music that one can relate to because it has so many different qualities. When I met my wife, she had no knowledge or appreciation for classical music. Mozart's night music really inspired her and she began to seek out other classical music.
I agree, but it should be a version played by a quintet like this version. The full-orchestra arrangements of this piece we usually hear turned me off of it for the longest time.
I particularly love BOTH this quintet and the Full Orchestra versions and most of ALL I absolutely love different kinds of classical music and they are my pride and joy 😊!!!!
Art knows no borders. Art is and will be the language of peace and the common language of humans❤🌹🎶🎻🥂
Wunderschöne Musik.
Bravo !!! thank you DW for bringing Mozart to us 👏👏👏👏
😊
Sublime douce musique qui touche les sentiments en écoutant à Mozart ! Merci infiniment .
Beautiful !!! This brings back a lot of great memories from when we played this in high school orchestra ! I played the cello, and we sounded pretty good, although not in the same league as these guys lol. But I really enjoyed playing it all the same 😊
These sounds brings 400 years old smell of extravagant atmosphere
Divine Mozart’s music.
Wonderful musicians.
I am overjoyed to listen to these magicians, thank you very much.
Magic that makes my spirit soar!
Among the many compositions of Mozart, this is my top favorite. Thank you for letting us listen to it wherever we may be!! Greetings from New Zealand!❤
Greetings fron Panama, beautiful song.
O Mozart é sempre maravilhoso. E muito mais quando é tocado por um QUARTETO de 5 músicos !!! Calorosas saudações de Lisboa em 26.5.2022
This performance is unrivaled by any other performances
One of my favorite Mozart compositions, performed brilliantly by these fantastic musicians. They breathed life into what would otherwise be confined to sheets of paper.
We're glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to follow us for the latest uploads 😊
Outstanding performance 👏
Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser fein komponierten Nachtmusik im relativ schnellen Tempo mit seidigen doch gut phrasierten Tönen zweier Violinen, mildem Ton der Bratsche, bezauberudem Ton des Violoncellos und tiefem Ton des Kontrabasses. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt beruhigend. Im Kontrast klingt der letzte Satz echt lebhaft und auch begeisternd. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den fünf Virtuosen Ist wahrhaft ergreifend. Wunderbar vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
"Wunderbar vom Anfang bis zum Ende." Ein perfekter Kommentar für alle Ihre Kommentare. Wir wollen mehr davon!!
Beautiful music and excellent performance! Enhanced also by the great video editing. Bravo!
Exquisite interpretation of such a sublime piece
The first record l bought. Still my favorite Mozart.
Thank you, as long as mozart continues to play, humanity will be safe
Such a delightful composition! I remember it being played at my home. My dear father played the cello while my sister played the violin. They were joined by friends who completed the ensemble. Nostalgic memories. We had many of these enjoyable ensembles. At times I joined them on the piano. There was always at at our home.😊😊

🌟 "Immersing oneself in the world of classical music is akin to entering a realm of sublime beauty. The compositions are not mere notes; they are the architects of emotions, constructing bridges between the ethereal and the earthly. It's a journey that never fails to leave the soul profoundly moved." 🎼💫
Wunderschön! 🎶🎻
Best of Mozart!
VERY nice job, thank-you for the beautiful music!!
Fabulous music ❤
Grande capolavoro mozartiano : musica notturna, certamente per Romance (andante) ma musica solare nelle altre parti, anche per la bellezza e la purezza del suono: solare ,come avrebbe detto, appunto, il grande critico Confalonieri. Ogni tanto la novità può colpire positivamente. Di norma uno String Quartet è composto da un primo violino, violino di spalla, viola e violoncello:( Un modello sublime 'Op. 31 di Haydn). Qui si aggiunge in contrabbasso ( double bass) che rafforza non solo l'accompagnamento ma anche la melodia. Bellissima ed elegante esecuzione . Una grande applauso ai cinque musicisti del "Quartetto". Complimenti.
Excellent as always.
Beautiful music!!!!
Superb performance.
The precision is just outstanding.... =) Nicely done!!
excellent performance 🎉👏
Música clássica é inspiradora, calmante.. lindo!

Maravilloso concierto de cuerdas, grandioso, bello.
Perfect music ❤
Perfección, belleza, precisión, una obra maestra del compositor y de los ejecutantes.
Es doloroso imaginar lo que hubiera creado Mozart si no hubiese fallecido tan joven. ¡Que hermosura!
Belo espetáculo musical !
Delightful ❤
A great musical achievement.
This is a superb performance (although I like a slower tempo for the last movement - it just affords more time to savor the syncopations in the first fiddle.)
Agree
Excelenta interpretare …! Mulțumiri !
Superb. Ausgezeichnet

Meu DEUS do Céu !!!!!! Mozart parece tão atual depois de bem mais de 200 anos. Sua música será aterna enquanto a humanidade existir. Meu compositor preferido. O homem, o mito e o gênio Mozart.

Always a real sweet pleasure …Mozart ❤playful genius
I listened to this song for most of my life since I started learning the violin, and nearly 10 years later I can safely say I can actually play the 2nd Violin.
Even I can't believe it. While watching this, I'm holding my own violin, matching that guy's movements and everything and I can do it. Not as good as him, but damn.
Thank you, this is a fine and intimate version. and I love the brisk tempo :)
