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!!!

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

The best performance of this piece, I listened to this countlessly.

beautiful. Tchaikovsky wrote the most romantic melodies.

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.

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.

2nd movement the most beautiful movement of any quartet i've ever heard. Absolutely moving.

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.

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.

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.

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…

I'm... I... I'm just overwhelmed.

Сейчас так уже не играют. Да... Были времена.

Изумительное исполнение! Какое счастье, что остались записи этого великолепного квартета! Лучшего исполнения я пока не слышала! Брависсимо!!!

00:45 - I. Modereto e simplice. 11:35 - II. Andante cantabille. 19:12 - III. Scherzo - Allegro non tanto. 23:08 - IV. Finale - Allegro giusto.

Music starts at 0:45. Up until then is their entrance and applause.

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.

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 KZfaq.

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.

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!

1:46〜2:42までの流れが好きです。 本当に綺麗…

17:00 мое самое любимое место.. Чувствую полную гармонию..

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!!! 💘 💘 💘💜💛💚🧡

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.

There is so much beauty and harmony in each of Tchaikovsky pieces and each one of his works is superb! 💘 🌼🌸🌸✨💖💕♥ ❤💙💜💖💗💘

Legendary performance!

That senza vibrato 15:25 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever listen

Borodin /best quartet of all times!

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.

The movement ends and everybody starts coughing up a lung, geez! Love that beautiful 2nd movement!

it is what artists should - when you really do an art work - do it perfect

Спасибо!

Music at the utmost!

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.

I played it 2 years ago, same emotion, same feeling :) btw I used to play the viola

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 !

I got chills right from the start. Amazing.

love it more than other versions heard, great guys great performance

BRAVISSIMOS !

0:47 - первая часть 11:38 - вторая часть 19:14 - третья часть 23:09 четвёртая часть

Como si fuera poca la genialidad fecunda de Tchaikovsky, agregando este Cuarteto # 1 Op. 11, a su producción grandiosa, una obra artística monumental

Maravilloso. La obra y estos intérpretes.

Many thanks for uploading this marvellous performance.

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.

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！

What a performance of this gem. It's a pity tchaikovsky composed so few string quartets.

masterpiece, repeat.

Браво!👏👏👏

Great that we have this video recording of the legendary Quartet! Thanks!

Para compor o segundo movimento (Andante Cantabile), Tchaikovsky se inspirou na música que ouviu de um pintor de paredes quando visitava a irmã.

Fantastic!

The cellist's final D is perfectly in tune.

Superb!

Prachtige opname !

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.

perfect! thanks for sharing

Класс!

מהותו של משיח עדין ואיטי עם פריטות ב1, 2 ו4 ומלחמה בשלישי. וסיום ב2. ועם שבת וחזרה בתשובה קשה ביותר לניגון. עוד נגיעה בראשון.

14:00 ❤️

Bravo. When and where did this performance take place, I wonder.....

El segundo movimiento es de una finura...y de una fuerza, al mismo tiempo.

The first violon looks like Maxim Vengerov don't you think so? haha What are their name again?

おじいちゃんの昔話スタート！ 囲炉裏を囲んで

what happened to the last movement...

rajoy on the second violin

70's or early 80's?

Excellent performance, but the video taking is very bad, all at weird angles.

Awesome! If only the cellist could have moved the D up a just a little bit in pitch on the last note.

The final chord kind of slipped.

the first violin seems to be a psycho

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
