Shostakovich had just finished his Seventh Quartet
when the leader of the Beethoven Quartet told him
that Melodiya had asked them to record his 'last
quartet':
"Last quartet?" exclaimed the composer. "When I've
written all my quartets, then we'll talk about my last
quartet!"
"And how many do you intend to write?"
"Twenty-four", replied Shostakovich. "Haven't you
noticed that I never repeat a key? I'll write twenty-four
quartets, so as to have a complete cycle."
Shostakovich only managed to finish fifteen quartets ,
but it is necessary to bear this large-scale project in
mind in order to place these quartets in their rightful
context. “This is challenging, unpredictable Shostakovich which always convinces even when the approach is new. The Jerusalem Quartet's tonal range is daunting too.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 “It is with the Eleventh Quartet that this disc really comes into its own. Spacious if natural sounds, and a release that certainly confirm the Jerusalem as one of the most technically assured and tonally responsive quartets of today.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2007 “… the Jerusalem's Eighth Quartet is very much heart on the sleeve. …the sheer conviction of the playing both here and in the Eleventh sweeps away any doubts, and the disc as a whole deserves an urgent recommendation for the wonderful performance of the Sixth.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2007 ***** “A release that certainly confirms the Jerusalem as one of the most technically assured and tonally responsive quartets of today.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2007 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

exemplary internal balance earns the final accolade, and as an added bonus you can enjoy a short DVD showing the Mandelring players at work.” The Strad | | | This item is currently out of stock at the UK distributor.
