Those first four ... ( 10 months ago by sirmattbelios)
Those first four notes that are the theme for the start of this are D-Eflat-C-B, which in german notation is written D-Es-C-H: D.Sch. for Shostakovich's initials. He used this as his musical signature in a few compositions.

It was not as captivating a composition as I would have expected. My mind meandered from the piece. If there was an additional percussive element outside of the strings it would have added dimension. But then again it wouldn't be a string quartet...Adios

many people thought ... ( 6 months ago by honeybun2020)
many people thought that shostakovich wrote this piece as a kind of musical suicide note because he was constantly persecuted for his work by stalinist russia, and ended up composing works after that were agreeable to the communist party.

yet, his daughter said that the government made him write that dedication and it was really for himself - it was written write after he joined the communist party and he got really sick great playing!

Many people must be ... ( 5 months ago by sextetband)
Many people must be missinformed in that regard because his subsequent string quartets were not anymore agreeable in musical qualities, rather the party was because Stalin had already died and Shostakovich had submitted to political pressure and joined. Lev Lebedinsky alleged that Shostakovich was suicidal at the time of the composition but most of his subsequent works are similarly fatalistic in character and they doesn't represent the kind of 'artistic suicide' that you seem to imply.

Very emotive ... ( 5 months ago by gillieconcarne)
Very emotive performance of a beautiful piece. The first movement is so dark and tragic, and the second movement is played with such energy and anger. Would love to hear their performance of the rest of the quartet, which in my opinion is one of Schostakovich's greatest works.

Great performance overall. For me the second movement was lagging a bit, but the musicality and expression was superb. Thanks for posting! :)

One of the finest string quartets, albeit missing a couple of movements, very expressively performed.

string quartet no8 is one of Shostakovich's most amazing pieces of music and this performance is fabulous... maybe the second movement is a little overbearing dynamically but otherwise an amazing performance of a spectacualr piece that is a hard piece to play well...

I feel like saying Shostakovich "submitted to political pressure and joined the party" is too convenient a summation. Until Stalin died in 1953, composers, authors, filmmakers -- artists in general -- were under tremendous scrutiny by the government. Maybe this piece wasn't the "suicide note" that everyone says it is, but it isn't a secret that Shostakovich and others in his and other fields were seriously oppressed by Stalinism and Soviet Russia for the 25 years Stalin was running things.
