    I am very much looking forward to this documentary. I happen to follow the Shanghai Quartet and their performances for the past 20 years. They are indeed one of the great quartets of their generation. I hope this documentary features their spectacular music making in the best possible light!!

  • We love these guys at the Maverick Concerts!

    Well Heifetz used to say that students came to hear him play wrong notes. Am sure not all audience members just sit back and relax. There are other agendas

    Interesting to read Rachmaninoff’s take on this … he had a slightly different attitude towards his “job”, to say the least:

    the title of this listing is a bit misleading. The post should be about the documentary on a 35 year old respected international string quartet not of a comment made within the trailor!! I guess whatever grabs the attention of its readers on slipped disc…
