Title: Eloquent
Review: The complete string quartets of Shostakovich are presented here on 5 CDs by the members of the Emerson String Quartet with fiery eloquence. This music, together with the quartets by Bartok and Carter, form a body of work as significant in its way as were the 19th century string quartets by Beethoven. These Emerson performances compare well against the gold standard of the Borodin Quartet recordings. (There is more than one appropriate way to play any given piece of music, as well as many inappropriate ways.)The clarity of sound on these CDs is superb. These were live performances before a remarkably hushed audience in a room at Aspen that was acoustically designed for chamber music. The result is a presence and excitement not often found on digital recordings. Highly recommended!
