Brandon Vamos

Brandon describes how Shostakovich provides such a wide range of expression and why his quartets allowed this more than his other works.

This video created in connection with the University of Illinois symposium, "Shostakovich: The Quartets in Context," February 21-22, 2011, and featuring the Pacifica Quartet. (http://www.slavic.illinois.edu/about/symposium/index.html)
