Thank you Simon for making this video! Hope this music will comfort those who love the classical music that can't attend the live concerts during this difficult time! Esmé Quartet

Esme Quartet에스메 콰르텟, I cannot simply put into words how your music has touched as well as struck me. I must say this experience was of a completely different sort than that from just hearing to the recorded album music. All those perfect harmonies in the music that you hear was only possible with the harmonies of the four bodies moving as one, feeling each other when to enter when to exit. Oh, those moments in the molto adagio, I sometimes think, is the quintessence of the most complex and triumphant human feelings and values that music can ever give to us. Along with the second movement of his last piano sonata Op. 111, this piece appears to me an expression of sheer appreciation (maybe to God) for letting him compose and live music. Ah, how much musical devotion did Beethoven put in into his last years, and being able to be part of his music through your performance, Esme Quartet, is just surreal. 멋진 배경과 같이 들으니까 그리스 신화에 나오는 음악의 여신들 같으시네요. (뒷배경의 고통받고 계시는 예수님에게는 죄송하지만.) 안 그래도 너무나도 아름다운 곡들인데 연주를 실제로(?) 보면서 들으니 감동이 훨씬 더하고 놀랍습니다. 연주 감사합니다.

instagram.com/p/CHafQmiKsR6/?igshid=95ugij7qzdmm This is Esmé's Instagram. After I listened to their music,I became a big fan of them! :)

The late Beethoven String Quartets still gives music theorists headaches! Harmonies that just should not work, and yet, they do! Excellent performance here! Bavis!!!

Maybe it is just me. I find that the Korean Classical musicians, the orchestras, choirs, vocalists, conductors, etc., etc. have a real and deep affinity for the works of Beethoven. Maybe it is due to the pathos of Korean history and of Beethoven's own life that forges the connection. I don't know. Maybe it really is just me, but performances like this one by this Korean ensemble, move me mightily. Thank You. Very sincerely, Thank You.

And this is a perfect example of how practice enables freedom to expression and beyond

A young string quartet plays like a mature quartet... how can be possible.? Congratulations to the Esme Quartet!!!

It is an astounding performance by a young quartet who seem to fathom the mighty opus 132. They will go far!

Beautiful woman playing beautiful music

I am captivated

Bravo!

Danke Danke Danke, das war eine Sternstunde der Interpretation!

Transcending themselves with every note. 4 hearts playing as one.

Overwhelmed with beaty

Stunning! I’m speechless. They have “the magic.”

This melody really reflects late stage of Beethoven, showing his inner feeling of human life. Four musicians are catching the spirit wonderfully.

It is beautiful! So good

What a lovely performance!

Great. Your performance is marvellous. So romantic and smooth. Congrats 🤩🤩🤩🤩🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👏🎶🎶👏🎶🎶👏🎶👏🎶🎶👏🎶👏🎶🎶👏👏🎶👏🎶🎶👏👏

Beautiful acoustics in this holy space. Keeping more distance between the musicians and without an audience enhances the quality of the sound of each individual instrument, I feel. Fantastic!!

Beautifully played !

Thank you for the beautiful music 🎼🎶🎵🎶🎵❤️❤️ healing.

Their account of the Molto Adagio movement is sublime. I can't get enough of it.

Bezaubernd,freue mich sehr und sage Dankeschön 😊❤

天から光が降りてくるような神々しさ。

Truly fine performance. Excellent ensemble playing!

Thank you so much for this. The excellence and depth of your playing brings this music to life more completely than I have ever heard it. Bless you and the soul of Beethoven.

Oggi, con i dolci suoni del 132, ho dormito 2 ore in più. Grazie infinite Esme quartet per aiutarmi così tanto a superare due malattie che ho da tanto tempo!

what a treat to see these passionate young women performing some of my favorite music the first violin nearly levitated a couple times , and the cellist's face expressed the depth of her understanding and involvement in this sometimes painful piece THANK YOU

Four Beethoven cosmonauts. ✨ 🪐 🚀

¡ Bravo ! Wonderful interpretation by the young string quartett

Nell'ascoltare il ringraziamento che Beethoven rivolge al suo D-O . Non dubito che dall'alto dei cieli siamo scese lacrime.

Complimenti! Ho molto apprezzato il fraseggio, l'equilibrio fra le parti, la varietà della dinamica e del vibrato. Grande poesia! Grazie!

Bravo!!!

Eine tolle impassionierte Aufführung.

Di primissimo livello,very first level.brave ragazze

Brilliant...top shelf talent ensemble

Wow! Perfect! I've had the quartets, by S.F.s Alexander Q on continuous rotation in my car for fifteen years. Their 132 has been my go-to interpretation. Til now... Also, extremely well produced and mixed.

A reassuring reminder of what really matters today. Exceptional performance , exemplary of the very best chamber music . Thank you so much.

Just wonderful!! Many thanks!

Such a marvelous performance. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Wow, excellent! They are so young but infuse the piece with such deep feeling that often comes later in life.

Great performance! Whenever i listen to the third movement, I can't help bringing tears to my eyes.

So did I.I am gonna go watch their live performance in Seoul on Nov 28. I am really looking forward to it!!!

It has a warmth that can be felt in the viewing together with the hearing. It's like they have a shared lap filling all the space between them, holding the music in it, strengthening the unity of the musical offspring in all its foursome diversity, nurturing its development with the strokes of their wands, four in one, one in four, ex pluribus unum.

FELICITACIONES, MUY BRILLANTE, MUY BONITO.

This is truly one of the most synchronized and well thought out renditions of this great Beethoven quartet I have ever heard. The beautiful church setting with these angelic ladies brought me to heavenly places. Thank you so much, Esme Quartet

Oh my god. I've just discovered my new favorite quartet. I am so excited to hear, someday soon I hope, Esmé Quartet's complete recordings of all the Beethoven string quartets.

Great interpretation unlike most of other quartets who will just strike hard and accent everywhere without understanding Beethoven's complexity and enjoying the little details in the score. Looking forward to other Beethoven late quartets performed by you guys.

Many thanks for this guidance! Much appreciated. And heavens, what a performance!

Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Streichquartetts im gut phrasierten Tempo mit gut balancierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Im Kontrast klingt der letzte Satz wahrlich leidenschaftlich und überzeugend. Einfach wundervoll!

I can't imagine being in a quartet and keeping my composure during the Heileger Dankesang, I would be fighting back tears

What's a delightful performance, ladies.

very cute

Wonderful music. The women are very professional.

Excellent. True to Beethoven. Best Quartet I ve heard in a long time.

So much beauty in this world! The instruments, the setting, the ensemble and, of course, the music. Thank you, ladies for your dedication.

Fabulous!!! I think Esmé quartet is one of the most wonderful musicians.Especially the first violinist gives me huge inspiration.

What a wonderful rendition!

Was able to listen and watch again, this time on large screen with great audio. This audio video feast has a lifetime of listening for me and that is not only because of Beethoven’s ability to build in depth but also because of the quality of your performance. The teamwork, musicianship and interpretation is outstanding. Thank you so much for recording and sharing this concert. Again, I look forward to any to recordings you make and hope to attend a concert of yours one day. With gratitude and much appreciation, wishing you all health and joy.
