Street Cred: 222 Rec's: 27
“If writing poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric, what about composing a string quartet? The Chacony from Britten's second quartet is a musical response to the horror of the Nazi concentration camps. Sometimes programmed as a standalone piece, its solemn and stately 20 minutes offer a good introduction to the rest of this darkly beautiful work. The playing is impeccable; so is the sound quality.”

“An amazing recording!--especially at Amie St. prices. This track is representative, capturing the weird & wonderful rhythms and harmonies of this terrific, challenging music, as well as demonstrating this young quartet's tremendous technique and musicality. The recorded sound is fantastic, too.”

“If you are new to Shostakovich's string quartets, start here--a tremendously exciting movement filled with musical and rhythmic surprises including some thrilling pizzicato passages.”
