Customer Reviews
Shosty is my home-boy.
Shostakovich's musical maturity and development is best shown in the creative and experimental progression throughout his string quartets. Not only did he use his notorious sarcastic melodies and heart-wrenching/unexpcted harmonies, but there lies a great deal to be said about this genius that cannot possibly be said in the given 6000 letters here. Please, THIS MAN WAS A TRUE ARTIST WITH A TROUBLED AND IMPORTANT LIFE. Do him, yourself, and the world of music a favor and listen to these pieces as you would listen to the meaning of life being spoken by the almighty.
Its good but...
This is another one of Emerson's things, perfect but no depth. Their sound is too "clean" for these quartets. The Borodin Quartet's release of these quartets is much better and is more true to Shostakovich, considering they worked with him on some of the quartets. If your looking for a perfect, clean and somewhat limited recording, the emerson quartet's shostakovich is for you.
Wow
The Emerson Quartet is the Justin Bieber of string quartets. All gloss and zero substance. Professional musicians know this, so how come the Emersons are as big as they are? It really defies explanation. It's sad becaue they clearly have monster techniques, but nearly everything they do is painfully shallow. If you want flawless playing with real depth, go with the Tokyo Quartet during the Oundjian years. Specific to Shostakovich, I favor the Borodin Qt Cycle. Raw and powerful. LM
