If anyone watching/listening hasn’t heard a string quartet of this caliber live and close up, you are missing out on one of life’s most incredible pleasures. This is a wonderful recording, but to hear them live will give you goosebumps and make you wonder how such musical instruments and compositions were created and played by humans.

Oh man, the Emerson String Quartet hold such a special place in my heart... when I was in 7th grade I was put in a quartet with three other students from my middle school and we played just the little beginning section to the 2nd movement of Schubert's Death and the Maiden; it was my introduction to chamber music. For practically the entire year, I listened to the Emerson String Quartet's recording of Death and the Maiden every morning during my walk to school on my little Apple iPod with the wired earbuds. I knew that recording and their interpretation of Death and the Maiden like the back of my hand, and I've loved chamber music ever since! :)

I love how NPR is expanding and is having more classical musicians on and plenty of other genres!! Even though there is a slim chance he would do this but they should totally try and get pianist Yunchan Lim (who won the 2022 Cliburn) to do a tiny desk concert! I loved seeing Yo-Yo Ma's tiny desk concert too!!

Elegiac indeed. I am brought to tears. I’m grateful to have found this glorious performance today by one of the preeminent string quartets of the last half century as they draw their career to a close. Thanks also for introducing me to the tender and powerful work of George Walker. All my best wishes to these devoted artists as they end one chapter and begin another.
