| | Description: | The fifteen string quartets composed by DmitriShostakovich established him as one of the mastersof this genre. These works show him at his mostconcentrated and most intimate. Although each isquite different in form and structure, every bar ofthem reveals some aspect of the composerâ??scharacter, from wild humour to black despair, withan all-pervasive nervous tension. Without texts,descriptive titles or any overt public agenda, theycan be heard as revelations of the composerâ??smusicianship in its most essential form.For its first release on BIS Records, the JerusalemQuartet presents three of Shostakovichâ??s quartets.Although the Second String Quartet was composedin 1944, its character is elusive and it makes nodirect reference to the war. Yet this is a substantivework, dark, powerful and at times dissonant. TheSeventh Quartet, consisting of three shortmovements played without interruption, is anenigmatic and deeply personal work dedicated tothe memory of the composerâ??s wife. For all itsquestioning and complex inner references, theTenth Quartet is among the most immediatelyappealing of his later works. By this stage in his life,Shostakovichâ??s music tended to speak in a quietervoice and to a more intimate audience. - The fifteen string quartets composed by Dmitri Shostakovich established him as one of the masters of this genre.
