Music to die for, to die with, to love with and fight for. And when you see them, in all humility and devotion at work, these masters of their profession-in its breadth and depth of meaning- dressed up to perform, willingly, playing with such beauty, calm, vibrancy and harmony of expression, within the dreadful constriction and persecution of their time, we witness not just a paradox but a miracle of survival- so deep a humanity, encapsulated, embraced in the genius and power of such glorious music.
For 10 consecutive years have I been listening to this and other pieces such as Quartet Number 2 in D by Borodin(3rd movement!) , and yet every time I listen to these masterpieces that are about to vanish in today's society I feel insignificantly small and feeble compared to these honorable composers. 15:31 Just made me feel helpless and vague on my future roads of life. I really don't know how my future is going to be. Its funny how sometimes instruments made up of plain ol' wood and some string can give people goosebumps and memories of the past when they first listen to this. Yet this is why I think Classical music "rock" more than rock or Justin Bieber Songs, these instruments express words where you have to understand only with your heart. Sadly in today's world no more of these legendary songs are written, or will be wirtten.
+Daniel Lu - TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS IN THIS MODERN LIFE FOR SUCH POWERFUL MUSIC TO BE WRITTEN TODAY, BUT WITH PEOPLE WITH THE DEPTHS OF ONE SUCH AS YOURSELF, THIS MUSIC WILL NEVER COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR !!!
Small artists show us what they can do - the BIG artists show us what they are. These four men were the music they were playing. I reckon this String QuartetNo 1 is the closest thing humans have ever come to whale song! Surprising after 6 years only 880 likes.
11:39 has a story behind it with me! This piece was played on the Stryker inTouch bed. OK. So in the event, you, or your loved one were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, and your hospital bed happened to be a Stryker inTouch bed, If the Staff at the hospital had your bed set to the sound therapy option in the I-Bed Menu, If the classical music playlist was what you heard during your stay, You would hear this movement of his String Quartet No 1! You'd hear this slow and extremely beautiful movement! And if you were on a ventilator like I was, You'd be comforted by soothing music like this! The Stryker inTouch bed is a critical care bed by the company Stryker. The bed can rotate bed bound and intubated patients automatically, to prevent bed soars. This bed can pound on the patient's back to loosen up secretions the patient is unable to cough up on their own. The bed has a scale that can weigh the patient. This bed has the ability to translate spoken phrases into other languaged. The bed has medical calculators! And finally, this bed has the option of playing classical music, My favorite, Jazz Music, or Sounds of nature, such as a Waterfall, or Bottle Nose Dolphins!
Disse Tchaikovsky: "Em toda a minha vida de músico creio que nunca me senti tão lisonjeado e comovido quando Leon Tolstoi, sentado ao meu lado ouvindo o Andante, começou a chorar."⁶
Watch how the first and second violins match their vibrato absolutely perfectly in the second movement theme, around 15:00 such amazing attention to detail combined with heavenly musicality and understanding of the style.
Lev Tolstoy was in the audience at the first presentation of this quartet. It is told that when the 2nd movement was played, he was so enthralled that he began to weep hard, racking sobs.
Where and when, we want and need to know, not to begin but complete our search to grasp the depths of this sublime performance, devastating in passion and expertise: discipline with liberty, creative as controlled, founded on faith in the music, which rises on their swaying plane of fusion, a tension with pathos and catharsis entwined, through such taught, exquisite expression of tremulous melody, shown boldly in their composure, posture, natural gesture barely constrained. And then, the way they stand, so upright, hasten far back to bow, march, hurry away.
What gorgeous quartets these are and this the first of them I enjoy most. The Borodins excel here. The ensemble is perfection, they sway together, almost breathe together, super video, thanks UA-cam.
This is almost unspeakably beautiful and sublime. No other group can match their beautiful tone and feeling . Where and when was this recorded? Thank you.
Almost too much to bear: like a fiddler on the street, at most a meagre travelling band, he shows all the ingenuity, the lyrical wonder and daring of his wears. And the Borodin Quartet are those bearers par excellence, defiant of dire and troubled times.
I'm just sitting here, panting and groaning involuntarily at a video taken decades ago of three old Soviet men playing away with those grand fine fiddles of theirs. I feel incapable of dealing with how perfectly they play.
For me the most beautiful and joyful pieces are the first one, the third one and especially the fourth one which is absolutely superb! 💘 💘 💘 Of course the second movement is infinitely beautiful too but the fourth is the best!!! 💘 💘 💘💜💛💚🧡
Truly sublime ! I was fortunate enough to hear them in this very same hall during my student years but only now realize just how good they were ....and the music !
they make it look so EASY. it seems like very few professional violinists (and cellists and violists) reach this level... the level of completely MASTERY of their instrument. it just looks so natural and perfect.
Valentin Berlinsky was the legendary cellist of the quartet which started in student years of Tchaikovsky conservatory, supposedly Rostropovich was the cellist in the beginning, and Berlinsky came instead of him. He was the only original member to play in the quartet almost until his death, so for 62 years!! Since 1945. until 2007. Check out the video of Mendelssohn quartet in my channel if you want! Thanks.
Мне посчастливелось слушать этот великий квартет на концертах в Москве и Нижнем Новгороде. Лучший квартет СССР. ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНОЕ ИСПОЛНЕНИЕ ЧАЙКОВСКОГО. БРАВО!!! Сумашедшие политики запада запретившие русскую музыку на западе лишили свои народы прекраснейшей музыки когда-либо написанной человечеством.
lovely although solos could be a bit louder . not the best Borodin ever. Either sound engineer needs sacked or 1st violin needs to lean on his bow a little bit
00:45 - I. Modereto e simplice.
11:35 - II. Andante cantabille.
19:12 - III. Scherzo - Allegro non tanto.
23:08 - IV. Finale - Allegro giusto.
IV. Finale - Allegro giusto
thanks a lot!!!!

I fear to write a thing, other than to say: I categorically concur.
Bless, I absolutely agree!
Danke Ihnen für Ihren tiefgreifenden Kommentar. Die Menschheit braucht Menschen wie Sie.

I disagree that they aren’t written or will be written that’s definitely not true I’m afraid.
This is the best interpretation I've ever heard. I feel I'm melting when they are playing the second movement. So beautiful, so pure.

....you try to hard to impress
2nd movement the most beautiful movement of any quartet i've ever heard. Absolutely moving.
Lev Tolstoy was in the audience at the first presentation of this quartet. It is told that when the 2nd movement was played, he was so enthralled that he
began to weep hard, racking sobs.
I was at the Opera house in Sydney when I first heard it. Mum worked downstairs and I rushed down to her at the end and sobbed. Remarkable music.
yes!!! Just found it and i am crying for 30 minutes already
Agreed. Sublime.
The best performance of this piece, I listened to this countlessly.
Music starts at 0:45. Up until then is their entrance and applause.
Sommet du génie Russe, du compositeur aux interprètes unis en une seule voix : l'âme d'un peuple.

BORODIN QUARTET ALWAYS HAVE BEEN THE BEST!!!
Especially when it comes to Russian composers, I don't even bother to listen to other interpretations. It's not even close!
Tschaikowsky Sq from early 20th century is the one to beat
Изумительное исполнение! Какое счастье, что остались записи этого великолепного квартета! Лучшего исполнения я пока не слышала! Брависсимо!!!
beautiful. Tchaikovsky wrote the most romantic melodies.
The first time I heard this performed live, I almost broke into tears!
綺麗な、、、切れるところの息がぴったりと合ってますね…
What gorgeous quartets these are and this the first of them I enjoy most. The Borodins excel here. The ensemble is perfection, they sway together, almost breathe together, super video, thanks UA-cam.
The movement ends and everybody starts coughing up a lung, geez! Love that beautiful 2nd movement!
This is almost unspeakably beautiful and sublime. No other group can match their beautiful tone and feeling . Where and when was this recorded? Thank you.
17:00 мое самое любимое место.. Чувствую полную гармонию..

I played it 2 years ago, same emotion, same feeling :)
btw I used to play the viola
0:47 - первая часть
11:38 - вторая часть
19:14 - третья часть
23:09 четвёртая часть
I'm... I... I'm just overwhelmed.
Legendary performance!
Сейчас так уже не играют. Да... Были времена.
For me the most beautiful and joyful pieces are the first one, the third one and especially the fourth one which is absolutely superb! 💘 💘 💘 Of course the second movement is infinitely beautiful too but the fourth is the best!!! 💘 💘 💘💜💛💚🧡
it is what artists should - when you really do an art work - do it perfect
おじいちゃんの昔話スタート！
囲炉裏を囲んで
There is so much beauty and harmony in each of Tchaikovsky pieces and each one of his works is superb! 💘 🌼🌸🌸✨💖💕♥ ❤💙💜💖💗💘
That senza vibrato 15:25 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever listen
Music at the utmost!
Borodin /best quartet of all times!
Como si fuera poca la genialidad fecunda de Tchaikovsky, agregando este Cuarteto # 1 Op. 11, a su producción grandiosa, una obra artística monumental
מהותו של משיח עדין ואיטי עם פריטות ב1, 2 ו4 ומלחמה בשלישי. וסיום ב2. ועם שבת וחזרה בתשובה קשה ביותר לניגון. עוד נגיעה בראשון.
Спасибо!
Truly sublime ! I was fortunate enough to hear them in this very same hall during my student years but only now realize just how good they were ....and the music !
You are a lucky man!!!
sometimes you look back and you recognize you couldn’t even understand how great it really was
Many thanks for uploading this marvellous performance.
they make it look so EASY. it seems like very few professional violinists (and cellists and violists) reach this level... the level of completely MASTERY of their instrument. it just looks so natural and perfect.
Bravo. When and where did this performance take place, I wonder.....
In Big Hall of Moscow conservatory
Great hall of Moscow Conservatory. I think mid 1980th
1:46〜2:42までの流れが好きです。
本当に綺麗…
The first violon looks like Maxim Vengerov don't you think so? haha What are their name again?
Valentin Berlinsky was the legendary cellist of the quartet which started in student years of Tchaikovsky conservatory, supposedly Rostropovich was the cellist in the beginning, and Berlinsky came instead of him. He was the only original member to play in the quartet almost until his death, so for 62 years!! Since 1945. until 2007.
Check out the video of Mendelssohn quartet in my channel if you want! Thanks.
What a performance of this gem.
It's a pity tchaikovsky composed so few string quartets.
We're lucky that he did!! Wasn't his favorite formation, he liked to write for symphonic orchestra much more.
Excellent performance, but the video taking is very bad, all at weird angles.
Great that we have this video recording of the legendary Quartet! Thanks!
love it more than other versions heard, great guys great performance
I got chills right from the start. Amazing.
Para compor o segundo movimento (Andante Cantabile), Tchaikovsky se inspirou na música que ouviu de um pintor de paredes quando visitava a irmã.
Мне посчастливелось слушать этот великий квартет на концертах в Москве и Нижнем Новгороде. Лучший квартет СССР. ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНОЕ ИСПОЛНЕНИЕ ЧАЙКОВСКОГО. БРАВО!!!
Сумашедшие политики запада запретившие русскую музыку на западе лишили свои народы прекраснейшей музыки когда-либо написанной человечеством.
My all time favorite string quartet piece! It has depth built into it so that it sounds like a full symphony. But it’s just four instruments.
Maravilloso. La obra y estos intérpretes.
The cellist's final D is perfectly in tune.
what happened to the last movement...
Класс!
くれゆくそらまどをとじぬ、鐘の音はるかきこゆーーー、いい曲ですね！
Prachtige opname !
17:16
Браво!👏👏👏
masterpiece, repeat.
perfect! thanks for sharing
Fantastic!
BRAVISSIMOS !
70's or early 80's?
Superb!
14:00 ❤️
El segundo movimiento es de una finura...y de una fuerza, al mismo tiempo.
The final chord kind of slipped.
rajoy on the second violin
Adria Torras hahahahahaha
the first violin seems to be a psycho
Awesome! If only the cellist could have moved the D up a just a little bit in pitch on the last note.
lovely although solos could be a bit louder . not the best Borodin ever. Either sound engineer needs sacked or 1st violin needs to lean on his bow a little bit
It's a bit unlikely that the 1st violin of the Borodin quartet - least of all this particular one - needs any lessons in sound production :-)
It's from a big hall. It's 80s. They sound very very good!
