Today's classical playlist

[Judas Priest]

I just listened to Beethoven´s 9th String Quartett.

The first movement was good, the second wasn´t to my taste, the third was good, but the fourth movement, holy mother of GOD!!!

I had tears of musical bliss in my eyes and was headbanging and throwing the devil´s horns!

How the hell can anyone play that fast? I can just imagine the strings glowing red and the bow hairs flying off left and right

I am still floored! Amazing!

edit: I found a YT video of it; the fourth movement starts at about 27:30.

While the strings aren´t glowing, and most bow hairs are still attached to the bow, it´s still pretty damn impresive!
