5.0 out of 5 stars
Yes,
By "joeythemancunian" (Edmonton, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shostakovich: String Quartets (Complete), Vol. 1 (Audio CD)
With all due respect, I must question the fundamental nature of Tristan Jakob-Hoff's review of this disc. Although terrible music cannot be turned into good music through an effective performance without ceasing to be the same piece of music, a review of these in my opinion very good quartets should not concentrate too much on the quality of the music as it exists in the score.This disc was my introduction to Shostakovich's quartets, and although the music itself has been overshadowed by his later quartets, they are still wonderful works that are certainly given a just treatment in this recording. It may not be the last word in Shostakovich recordings, but if I am to continue the precedent of seemingly recording entirely on the basis of the music, a 5 star rating is surely justified. |
