Shostakovich: String Quartet No 15

Belcea Quartet

Shostakovich's final and longest string quartet, supremely introspective and fully reconciled to the inevitability of death, offers an intimate portrait of the Soviet composer during his last years.
The Belcea Quartet has programmed it together with another fifteenth and final string quartet, Schubert's profound reflection on impermanence and everchanging reality.
