Piano Quintet in G minor, op. 57 / Piano Trio no. 2 in E minor, op. 67
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Borodin Trio & Mimi Zweig & Jerry Horner
Piano Quintet in G minor, Op. 57 and Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor, Op. 67 are chamber works by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1940 and 1944 respectively. Both pieces combine late-Romantic lyricism with modernist dissonance and concentrated contrapuntal textures, with the quintet tending toward a more intimate, transparent scoring and the trio reflecting a darker, more intense character associated with the composer’s mid-1940s output.
First released: 1983
