The Complete String Quartets

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Quatuor Danel

The Complete String Quartets is the cycle of fifteen string quartets by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1974. The cycle spans a broad stylistic range, from earlier rhythmically driven and folk-influenced quartets to increasingly chromatic, contrapuntal and introspective late works, documenting Shostakovich's development as a chamber-music composer and forming a central component of 20th-century string quartet repertoire.
