Shostakovich String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor (IV)

Op. 110
Mov. 4
Largo

Performed by: Emerson String Quartet

Note: I highly recommend playing the next movement as soon as this movement finishes playing. This whole quartet is supposed to be played without stopping. (at least that's how I interpret it)

Are there multiple recordings of this piece by Emerson? My Emerson recording sounds nothing like this. It's way, way better. Strange.

"Since I know no one will write a piece in memory of me, I will myself." -Shostakovich to a friend about this quartet.
