Wow, that first movement is really beautiful, the glassy-ness of it all is so accentuated with these quasi-hocketed lines. The mix from an audio perspective is very fun and gritty as well!
2nd movement is a delight with it's interesting tonality and rhythmic and contrapuntal vitality...in the background there is a trace of something Mendelssohnian. Lovely, imaginative and dynamic string quartet...bringing out what is best in quartet playing. Gorgeous harmonies in the final movement.
un esercizio di stile, niente di più. Totalmente privo di una sua identità. Un mondo tonale vecchio, buono per l'intrattenimento. Il peggior Bartok è superiore anni luce. Questo livello musicale è stato fortemente superato anche dalla musica da film. La scrittura di certa musica è essenzialmente solo narcisistica. Ho almeno 5 allievi l'anno che scrivono cose più belle e interessanti.
I attended a intensive with Kian back in 2022, his counterpoint skills are absolutely ferocious! Great guy, and this piece is fantastic as well!
very good craft
This is a wonderful quartet. It inspires me to compose some more quartet music.

Spectacular. Kian Ravaei is the first modern composer I've ever fallen in love with
Man that first movement is just... something else. Probably one of the most beautiful pieces of contemporary classical music I've heard. Amazing.
Captivating work, great craftsmanship and balance, I enjoyed it very much!
That first movement is just gorgeous - thanks for posting this :)
Brilliant work! I was lucky to hear this piece performed live.
Kian is awesome and also a really sweet guy.

Wonderful work and performance!!
Very unpretentious music but I like it, it's charming !
but?
Only two minutes into this piece and I'm totally captivated. Amazing work.
Those chords and progressions in minute 17 are really something special
Absolutely wonderful music!
The goat has returned
Lovely !
Beautiful works!
