When it can’t get any more sublime, it gets more sublime.

In my near 7th decade of listening to music, I am compelled to declare this performance, this interpretation to be the best I have ever encountered of this highly emotive and personal movement of the A minor quartet. Your articulations by each player, the sensitive accents and timing pull me beck to this performance over and over. Nine better! Thank you for your musicianship and for your contribution to the beauty and depth of Beethoven.

It doesn't matter how many times I listen to this it always transports me into a higher place. This music was composed, and is being played...not to replace the world, but to make the world bearable and even transcendent.

I can’t help but to cry every time I listen to this piece. It has carried me though loved ones sicknesses and deaths. I want this played at my memorial.

"Joy and woe are woven fine, a clothing for the soul divine, through every grief and pine runs a joy with silken twine". Augeries of innocence, William Blake.

The most beautiful melody on the history of Western classical music.

This glorious performance deserves not to be interrupted by a commercial.

This movement is like a prayer(A) followed by the strengthening response of God(B) --- (A.B.A2.B.A3) And when the theme last appears(A3) we are healed.

Well, Ludwig, you got this absolutely right !

Such a moving interpretation. It was like listening to somebody praying.

The Danish are the best quartet: only vibrato when necessary. The choral is heavenly.

This is the most beautiful music!! It’s like someone is washing my brain.... cleaning out all negativity and other impurities.

I have dropped many tears listening to this recording. Thank you kindly.

Mindblowing! The most incredible sustained sound. Masterful bow work, subtle feints of phrase. The most peaceful breathing timing. Every consonance shimmers like crystal and you milk every dissonance. My dad is in hospice - I thought of this piece, and was so grateful to find that you have posted such an exquisite rendition.

14:49 and beyond is as close as I'll ever get to heaven on this earth. This entire piece and this interpretation is as transcendent as anything in this world.

Thank you Danish String Quartet for this performance, listening to this masterpiece from Azerbaijan!

Daring, mystical, revelatory! The greatest string quartet ensemble before the public today.

played with reverence. thank you.

Mit diesem Quartett ist Beethoven etwas ganz Besonderes gelungen, das wohl auch in seinem gesamtem Werk einzig ist. Unsere Bewunderung könnte nicht größer sein…Ein Dank an die Musiker für ihre wundervolle Interpretation.

Prayer and then exultation at prayer being answered. Really the most sublime music I know.

To see the world in a grain of sand. Heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand: Eternity in an hour. W.Blake. In this Molto Adagio time stops and everything is ONE eternally.

Blessed, beloved Beethoven.

Maybe someone can explain how these guys get such *resonance*! No one sounds like them; you can hear the wood, it's like the music is alive and breathing. The last notes in their Cavatina make all the hair on my neck stand up.

Danish String Quartet が創る和音は、すぐれて透明で、この作品だけが生み出す不協和な音空間も構成して、素晴らしい。

I return to this movement after many years, in a moment of gratitude to God as I realized how He brought me through some SITUATIONS ... as relief and new strength came into me, I remembered this piece, and this recording is the one that best matched with my memory ... thank you so much for this sensitive and beautifully paced interpretation!

音色が独立することで、響きの空間を受容させている美感覚。

Gentlemen....just want you to know that this performance gave me tremendous strength and hope. Loved it beyond measure..... and reaching back into the past, the Stamitz viola concerto with the Centipede costume still makes me laugh, whenever it comes to mind. Thanks for sharing this sublime performance, and doing all that you do.

Such fantastic playing!! You guys are a major inspiration, the bowing is so in sync it is like the bellows of an organ - your folk album is on constant rotation when I work in Excel at my desk job. Keep it up the great playing! -Luke from Minnesota

This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful performances of this piece that I've ever heard. It can't be easy to express such passion and subtlety simultaneously. I'm certain Beethoven would be smiling if he could see and hear this. Thank you for sharing it with those of us who weren't there to see it done live.

4人が創る和音。驚くほどに、作曲の意図になっている。美しい。

Huge risk taking which pays off spectacularly well. Kudos. Im certain thats the way it was meant to be played.

What a wonderful performance! Such rich tone and sensitivity

It is such great music, this piece of music, I listen to it a thousand times and every time it moves me, that is what music, Beethoven does and so very good played bij Danish String Quartet, I heard you playing in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam a couple of years ago, that was an unforgettable concert. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, greetings from the Netherlands

what a piece of music! brilliante playing

I sit and hum the cello line, letting it caress my voice and my mind...

El sonido del Padre Universal!!!!!

my best piece of music from beethoven !!

Shameful DISGUSTING ads interrupting this heavenly music deserve HANGING

Superb...you could hear a pin drop with that kind of gentleness

Beethoven's greatest Adagio.

Such a good performance - closest to perfection I’ve heard, each player excellent and in perfect time with each other.

Thank You, thank You, thank You for recording my favourite piece of music! And for playing it like You do!

The depth of the man is unfathomable ! Awesome witnessing you chaps wrestling with it. Kudos to the camera people.

There simply aren't words to describe how incredibly beautiful this performance is.

すばらしい演奏。4人のココロが美しい。

One of my favorite recordings of one of my favorite Beethoven movements by one of my favorite quartets!! This made my day.

Gorgeous in every way possible......

Like so many people, I have always loved this music. Your version, however, surpasses anything I have ever heard. Thank you so much for this beautiful and moving rendition.

You guys are really up there with the Lindsays...what a sound, what a harmony amongst the instruments, what a feeling. I'm really, really speechless.

I am a long time fan of the DQ, but just discovered this. How nice. Beautifully played, and not an obvious choice for KZfaq. Great camerawork too. Nice to watch during the quarantine.

Beautiful, could bring one to tears.

Great performance of the greatest & most profound music ever written for string quartet!

Господи, какая прекрасная музыка...плачу..❤

Absolute perfection. Thank you

Pure beauty

I almost cry. Thank you

No words. Magnificent...magnificent.

une musique aux étoiles portée par une interprétation de grande classe

De verdad sublime

This is beautiful in a surreal way. One of the best interpretations.. >_

Das Zusammenspiel der Musiker ist bewundernswert…Danke für diese Interpretation.

수십번 반복해서 듣고 있어요. 데니쉬 콰르텟 최고👍👍👍

A beautiful and emotive performance of Beethovens masterpiece.❤❤❤❤

Heavenly 🤍

Sublime! 😭😭👏👏❤️❤️

It is a whole body performance.

non vib. chords in the opening section are GREAT!!

I am so happy to have discovered you on NPR Tiny Desk. Please escape COVID and come to Sydney to perform !

... this is the BEST INTERPRETATION of this PIECE , as I PERCEIVE it ... INTENSITY with EQUILIBRIUM . with SECURITY , without TREMBLING , without EXITATION . and COORDINATION AMONG THEM . chapeau .

So beautiful, sustained sound. Can you kindly take out the sponsor's message in the middle of the performance as it interrupts the musical thought, perhaps put it at the beginning? Thank you for sharing this.

Thrilling experience to the heart and to the senses, by far the best performance I've ever listened of the 3rd movement. Thank you very much!!!

I have never enough to hear this divine music. Always! but especially after suffering. You play it so beautifully. Thank you so much dear danish quartet.

I came to this piece through Aldous Huxley's Point Counterpoint. My favourite writer led me to my favourite piece of music. Tears streaming as i listen and type. Thank you, thank you, to all.

So glad you came to the Twin Cities recently….!

Especially needing this recording now. You guys rule.

Thanks, the inner peace and peace aroud...

Wunderbar!! Vielen Dank. 😥

I LOVe this!!!!!!

Bravo!!!!!

the absolutely most sacred amen ever written ... what a moving performance.. ❤

enormous performance

I'm looking forward to Prism IV and V!

Grazie un meraviglioso regalo... Un suono che è una vera preghiera di ringraziamento "Heiliger Dankgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit, in der lydischen Tonart" l'attacco del primo Andante "Neue Kraft fühlend" è perfettamente tenuto in equilibrio tra intimismo e forza. Thanks a wonderful gift ... A sound that is a real prayer of thanks "Heiliger Dankgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit, in der lydischen Tonart" the attack of the first Andante "Neue Kraft fühlend" is perfectly balanced between intimacy and strength. I apologize for any errors in the English translated automatically by google translate

This quartet sat next to us in a United Airlines flight from Dulles to Newark with their instruments. One had his cello in the seat next to him. When our plane was delayed, we couldn't talk them into doing a performance fo r us right there in the airport. Would love to see them in person.

Simply beuatiful. As it must be

That is too much beauty. Thanks...

Vdd...eu me transportei para um local mais elevado ouvindo essa maravilha

thank you, I look forward to seeking out your concerts in London, or indeed, anywhere....

Beautiful ❤️🇺🇸💕

you are the best

Nice thank you.

Estoy escuchando esta entrega del Danish String Quartet y pienso que nos transmite la plegaria de Ludwig van Beethoven al Altísimo: da nobis pacem, como lo hizo en la Missa Solemnis y en la Sonata para piano op. 111: de plano un viaje a las estrellas, por encima de todo mal y de todo peligro, con confianza en el porvenir. Ojalá pronto se reanude el ciclo Prism, en diálogo con Johann Sebastian Bach y compositores del siglo XX: nos urge.

Every note from the heart! Very inspirational! Thank you! 😊

素晴らしい演奏。

this touches your heart

Aldous Huxley en parle pendant tout le dernier chapitre de "Contrepoint". Ce morceau prouve l'existence de Dieu selon un des pesonnages du roman.

Apex human achievement. Bravo!

good job fellas!!

Beautiful...

I only came across this movie a few days ago and from the moment I heard this string quartet, I was reduced to tears and spent the movie a sobbing mess every time I heard music come on!
