I thought there was somewhere on youtube where there weren't many childish arguments. I thought that place was this great video. It's so funny how the disagreements in comments almost never have anything to do with the video itself.

Kudos to the performers. Yes, the second mvt. was a little slow, but I've heard professional recordings closer to this tempo that brought goosebumps. These girls are fantastic, I hate to say, for their age. Yes, maybe a few technical problems and intonation issues, but Shostakovich himself did not consider these to be the maker or breaker of great performances. It is about the music. This quartet has been a favorite of mine since I was 12, and I always love hearing new interpretations.

Pretty good yes! 1st mvmt a little too expressive not quite flat enough setting the context properly. A little too romantic and indulgent perhaps? But given the age of performer that should mature with understanding. They're good otherwise.

This quartet is supposed to be a concatenation of 5 movements...very strange to have it stopped at the second....
Why is the viola ...( 5 months ago by Zde1944)
Why is the viola leaning back on her chair?! She would look and play so much better if she sat at the edge so her bow doesn't hit the chair edge (trust me i know :P)

I have seen it performed like this many times. The first two movements work well on their own (albeit not as well as the whole piece), especially for audiences with a short attention span, or if there is a time restriction.

I like it. However, are these professionals? Sometimes there are little mistakes and awkward moments.
