Streichquartette Nr. 6-8

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich

Streichquartette Nr. 6-8 is an album of string quartets by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich, comprising works composed between 1956 and 1960. The music sits within mid-20th-century Russian chamber music, characterised by terse motifs, stark contrasts and a blend of sardonic irony and sombre introspection, and the set represents a transitional phase in Shostakovich's output that increasingly emphasises personal, reflective material.
