String Quartets nos. 1 and 2

Album by Alexander Porfyrevich Borodin & Budapest Haydn Quartet

String Quartets Nos. 1 and 2 are chamber works by Russian composer Alexander Borodin, composed in 1874 and 1881 respectively. The quartets combine Romantic-era harmonic language with motifs drawn from Russian folk music and display Borodin's gift for lyrical lines and rich string textures, representing important contributions to his chamber output and to the development of Russian chamber music in the late 19th century.
