The fifteen string quartets are Dmitri Shostakovich's private diary, and this box presents them in recordings by the two ensembles closest to him: the Borodin Quartet and the Beethoven Quartet, which premiered almost all of them. The sound is dry and close, the playing direct, with the authority of musicians who worked on the scores with the composer.
The set adds the Piano Quintet op. 57. Recorded in Moscow between 1964 and 1975 and issued in West Germany by Melodiya-Eurodisc in 1975 as eight records, with a twelve-page booklet in German.
