String Quartets nos. 1, 2 & 7

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Carducci String Quartet

String Quartets nos. 1, 2 & 7 is a compilation of chamber works by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1938, 1944 and 1960. Musically, the quartets are mid-20th-century chamber pieces that range from lyrical, tonal writing to sharper dissonance and abrupt rhythms, and they show Shostakovich shift from earlier experimental gestures to a more inward quartet style.
