I just saw TwoSetViolin react to your performance on the talent show - you guys play incredibly!

By the way they probably only speak Norwegian

[@darionbuck8864]

@@talon_how_ya_durrin5534 no they speak english too. Most everyone in smaller Eastern countries are bilingual.

I'm kind of scared of the emotions that Shostakovich's music can awaken in me, but this is so dang good I can't not listen to more of it.

i love amanda's cello playing; it sounds just so full of love and passion. you can clearly tell that she cares not just about this piece, but her instrument overall. the way her cello sings is hauntingly beautiful; eerily similar to that of a real person. like many others, i hope to see another performance of this piece with these four! best of luck, and with love from iceland ❤️🇮🇸

[@SaphirQuartet]

Wow, thank you so much! That was such a wonderful comment♥we love Shostakovich and will definitely play it again. Hugs from the cellist, Iris

[@XxX_J41M13_XxX]

@@SaphirQuartet im so honored you replied! im also a big shoty fan myself, and am actually working on a composition inspired by this piece for my orchestra class!

[@prettyeyesclef5018]

I wanna com back in 10 years and find a new video with these exact 4 kids older and replaying it again. It’s already pretty good for their age but I know they can get better. Rewatching the, in the future and thinking back of this will be amazing. Hopefully it happens

[@SaphirQuartet]

Thank you! We’re now 17 years old and playing more together than ever. We have a lot of fun projects and concerts planned in the future, so hope you follow along! This piece will always stay close to our hearts and will definitely be replayed!!
