One more concert-turned-video-recording, Lutoslawski String quartet from 1964, a magnificent piece using aleatoricism (chance plays a big role in the rendition of the work) in a very clever way.
Composing this piece, Lutoslawski was inspired by Alexander Calder and his mobiles, where the different elements are moving in an always changing and imprevisible manner.
I feel the same grace in this piece and in the works of Calder that I had the chance to watch and feel. This quartet has an obsessive beauty, with harsh elements transfigured into ecstatic moments.
