Quartet Videos in the Times.

May 29, 2007 at 3:25 PM

I was reading my morning papers and realized that in the New York Times Music section, there are about five short video clips of varous quartets that performed at a string quartet festival at Julliard. I think maybe one from Carnegie hall as well.

I love watching quartets perform maybe the best of all. How four personalities work together and of themselves to make the personality of the music...and sometimes the composer of the music...become a living thing. How it and they move and go from beginning to end. So many small and large changes happening. Each with different sounds and movements and languages in music.

Yes. I love watching quartets. These video clips are good ones to watch and notice differences of ensemble energies and styles.

Ooh, I like them too, and I love how you phrased it here. Do you have the links to the video clips set up, or did the paper just give the URLs? I'd love to see them.

There are pictures right on the music page of the NYT:

http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/music/index.html

What I did was double click on the pictures themselves and it opened up the video of it. Then, on the same page that the video opened up, it had all the other videos at the bottom, so I listened to them (watched) in succession.

Hope this helps!

Oh, stupid me - I was visualizing a "real" paper that you'd been reading. Should have just gone and checked the NYT online for myself. Thanks!
