Let me check this too, ok what do I want in my life? love, health, some resources so pay expenses, family, a job, sports, frequent holidays, good music to listen to. Nice food. And I want a new car. So what does the andante cantabile have that I want in life? Just music. None of the rest. Or maybe you were just being hyperbolic.
It's a life-changing piece of music. Schumann produced such an incredible unbroken line of masterpieces over a period of around 4 years -- song cycles, piano works, string chamber music. Even for Schumann, the piano quartet is special, an artistic peak, and it's probably the greatest piano quartet ever written. It's as close to perfect as it gets. Every phrase of every movement is inspired, the counterpoint is so brilliant, and there are gorgeous melodic lines that carry you along. This is the work of a genius at the absolute height of his powers. The coda of the finale is just so wonderful, it brings tears to my eyes. And this is a first rate performance -- it's world class players completely giving themselves in to the ensemble and making the sound greater than the sum of the parts. I especially love Sol Gabetta's playing -- it's a virtuosic part but she's so far beyond worrying about the technical difficulties, it's as if she's singing it, her sound is so wonderful.
For someone who was initially gonna go to law school, then switched to music. Becoming not only a pianist. But a great composer. Thank God he did that. We have way too many lawyers, but not great composers like this. Thank You. And God bless Robert Schumann. It makes all our lives just a little better. 😀😀😀
I hope you listen to his song cycles Dichterliebe and Frauenliebe Und Leben. Read the poems first and dig into them. Also, his spectacular piano quintet, also composed in 1842. Listen to the Argerich Maisky performance here.
I don't know how many times I've replayed the Andante Cantabile. The performance and interpretation was just pure perfection and beautifully romantic. I wish I could hear this piece in person one day. Bravo!
I'm exactly the same as you - can't tire of listening to the third movement over and over again. Only discovered the Schumann piano quartet when watching a recent PBS "Now Hear This" episode on Schumann. Even my wife, although she is extremely fond of classical piano music, is complaining that I'm play the piece too frequently 😂.
The Andante Cantabile is just amazing. I cannot stop listening to that melody, which has a lot of tenderness and a bit of a feeling of resignation. The cello solo comes first, and she plays it wonderfully. I love her tender and tranquil interpretation. And Kashimoto’s violin is also amazing. But, as a violist, I love the viola solo by Gilad Karni above all. It is absolutely amazing. 16:38
I mean, I get why people only rave on about the third movement, it's fantastic of course, but that first movement is really something too if you ask me: that glowfull introduction, repeated to start the development and end the piece, that lively first theme, the slightly meandering second theme... It's all so wonderfully beautifull!
This is the greatest piano and strings quartet ever composed in my opinion! Schumann wrote this one with Divine inspiration that defies human logic, ability and talent! The performers give a tremendous performance, making the music as alive Schumann originally envisioned.
I used to listen to an audio recording of this work back when I was a student at UNCSA. To see it performed, this is the first that I recall, and it is so moving! The pianist brings perfect balance with total technical and musical mastery. The violinist plays with precision, fire and freedom. The violist must have been born with the instrument under his chin and bow in his right hand! The cellist plays with the passion that can only be expressed on a cello. I'm literally stunned with this chamber group's creation!
É impressionante como o mestre, apesar dos problemas emocionais, constrói uma linha melódica tão deslumbrante como a beleza do pôr do sol, sua música vinha de uma alma atormentada e bela, tão bela...
Expansive in every way! Utterly massive in every statement. So much happens in this concise chamber work, and in such a fast manner that every clever modulation, change of form, and diversion from naive expectation will go over the head of the inattentive listener! This truly is Schubert lacking Ritalin! 4:57

¡Wow!. Bendita música, sanadora. Cuarteto impecable, ¡qué calidad de músicos!, para mí, la chelista; Sol Gabetta sobresaliente, ya van varios vídeos que la veo, y cada vez me gusta mas. 🙏🌻🌸🌈😍💛🎻🎼🎹🎶🎵
I am not familiar with this work but very glad to hear it now. This composer fell out of my favour for years because of over listening to the symphonies, the piano concerto and a few piano pieces. Now I have rediscovered the joys to be had with music other than the war horses I referred to. Schumann was a fabulous composer and is often eclipsed on the one side by Schubert and by Mendelssohn and Brahms on the other. Unfair and he stands very well on his own creations. A marvellous quartet.
there are some terrific Schumann works almost no one knows, even, like the Nachtlied for chorus and orchestra - his output is full of gems imho. (Though my own favorites are the A minor violin sonata Op.105 and the C major piano fantasy Op.17.)
Thank you for sharing this extraordinary performance of this work. Somehow this work was not on my radar until the quartet I mess around with gave this a whirl (the second violinist is also a pianist) and I fell in love. Right up there with the piano quintet!
Impresiona la belleza de este cuarteto de Schumann, una obra que desborda de lirismo de principio a fin. Brillante interpretación y hermoso escenario!!! Felicitaciones por difundir esta joya!!!
what an amazing piece and performance! I loved the vigour of the last movement but will come back to the slow movement another time as I was a bit distracted as it was playing!
An exquisite performance, they,superb masters of their instruments, nail the accents and the entirely uptempo attack works beautifully, wonderful! They get it.(But not composed or published in "1786".)
These musicians are 98% superb. They possess all the skills and musicianship needed to execute this Schumann masterpiece. The famous Andante movement was played with great artistry. The strings even had a soft and feminine quality, which requires an adept male player to achieve. As an ensemble, they demonstrate good balance, which reflects sharp listening skills. However, the one thing missing is a natural playing style that is free of pretension-a skill that is incredibly difficult for any professional musician to master. It requires a complete absence of ego. Their performance feels consciously controlled rather than having a freely abandoned feel. I have heard other ensembles, with less refined musicality and even imperfections, who manage to convey a more genuine and warm spirit, displaying a more natural essence in their playing. For me, an ensemble that conveys an earnest, sincere spirit is preferable to one that demonstrates its musical versatility. In terms of individual players, I have a strong appreciation for the violinist and violist, as they both play exceptionally well. The pianist is competent but tends to play with a distant, wooden tone. His attempts to sound genuine often fall flat due to his naturally reserved personality, which hinders him from delivering what should be an enchanting performance. Conversely, the cellist has some nice lines but comes across often as somewhat weak when she should project more strength. At times, her sound veers very close to overly sentimental, which can ruin the show. Let the audience feel sentimental but players should never succumb to sentimentality. --- Los Angeles
I swear I've heard this before, but this is my first time listening to this marvelous piece. Was the melody from Andante cantabile actually in an anime?
God, these quartet players capture and release Schumann effortlessly and perfectly. The cello solo in mvt 2 is arresting. Does anyone know where I can see or hear more of this particular group of 4...?
It is a wonderful performance. I just learned that Kashimoto is 1st Concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic and the others equally distinguished. If they play again as a quartet it will be a privilege to listen.
