Quintet / Quartet no. 7
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & The Shostakovich String Quartet & Alexei Nasedkin
Quintet / Quartet No. 7 is a chamber music release of works by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1940 and 1960 respectively. The music combines classically structured textures with moments of stark, sometimes muted intensity typical of mid 20th century Soviet chamber writing, and it sits between his earlier extroverted chamber pieces and his later introspective quartet style.
First released: 1982
