String Quartets no. 3 & no. 8

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Novus String Quartet

String Quartets Nos. 3 and 8 are chamber works by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1939 and 1960 respectively. Musically they range from terse, contrapuntal textures and concentrated motivic development to sombre, introspective and self-referential writing, with both quartets occupying an important position in Shostakovich's chamber music output and reflecting his responses to personal and political circumstances.
