About

The Asasello-Quartet continues their project: their complete recording of all string quartets by Dmitri Shostakovich enters its second phase in honor of his 50th anniversary of death in 2025. On the program are the first six quartets by Shostakovich, marking the beginning of the most significant quartet oeuvre of the 20th century. In every note, one senses the profound familiarity of this award-winning and internationally highly regarded ensemble with the shimmering and moving works of the great Russian composer: important music, brilliantly performed!
