Shostakovich / Danel / Markovitch - Complete String Quartets [CD]

Genre: Classical · Label: Accentus · Format: CD · Edition year: 2024 <p>With their recording of Dmitri Shostakovich's complete string quartets, the Quatuor Danel has crafted an impressive opus that delves into the composer's life with deep musical understanding and establishes unparalleled standards in interpreting his chamber music. These new live recordings, stemming from their 2022 residency at the Mendelssohn Hall of the Gewandhaus Leipzig, capture the full spectrum of emotions embedded in Shostakovich's quartet cycle, from the ethereal to the profound, from the whimsical to the contemplative. With their interpretation of this extraordinary cycle, the Quatuor Danel has forged a distinctive Shostakovich style that cannot be found in any other quartet. Primarius Marc Danel reflects on the resonance with the audience in Leipzig, describing it as nothing short of sensational. "I hope the recordings will also convey the collective spirit we permanently felt during our residency in the Mendelssohn Hall."Recorded live at Mendelssohn-Saal Gewandhaus zu Leipzig February &amp; May, 2022</p> <div data-bt-autogen> <p><strong>Tracklist:</strong></p> <ol> <li>String Quartet No. 1 in C major, Op. 49~I.
