Dmitry SHOSTAKOVICH (1906-1975) : A ‘ring’ for string quartet No.10-13 Opp 118, 122, 133, 138
In stock
Like Antiphon, this string quartet tetralogy is the epitome of eloquence, a series of ‘tombs’ progressing from the ‘golden age’ of Soviet realism with Quartet N°10° opus 118, dominated by the viola, to the Weberian purity of Quartet N°13 opus 138, a haunting adagio also written for the viola. The Beethoven Quartet, Shostakovich’s confidant, was the first to play and produce a recording of them. An admirable attempt at immortality, despite old live recordings originals .
