Shostakovich: Works for String Quartet & Piano Quintet

In this new release, the Delian Quartet along with Anatol Ugorski perform works by Shostakovich. Featured on this album are Shostakovich’s String Quartets Nos 4 & 6, as well as the rarely performed Theatre Suite. The Theatre Suite is a compilation of pieces from two works of incidental music: The Human Comedy, Op. 37, and Hamlet, Op. 32. “The performers of Shostakovich’s D-major Quartet, Op. 83 do full justice to all the double meanings compellingly contained in this work of disturbingly intimate character.” (General-Anzeiger)
