Sadness, beauty, and darkness spiraling together and flowing like a river.
Listen carefully. Shostakovitch knew how to make time stand still.
Truly cathartic.

A perfect mix of harmonic beauty, and dissharmonic pain.

The Emerson Quartet's reading is very fine. Those not acquainted with the recording by the Borodin Quartet, who rehearsed the work with Shostakovich, may wish to seek it out. The Borodin's performance is overwhelming in its emotional depth.

ehttsinaip...i definintely agree that Shostakovich was the rightful heir to Beethoven's legacy as the master of the string quartet. if you haven't already, listen to Beethoven's C# minor quartet, Op.131. it's absolutely amazing.

The tears of millions make an ocean of pain.
Shostakovitch feld all the pain of his people.
RIP my hero...you as deathless as the wind.
