Shostakovich: Fragments Vol. 2 - String Quartets Nos. 8-15/Preludes & Fugues (arr. Grafilo)/Unfinished String Quartet (3 CDs)
Captured here, on three discs, is the first half of the Alexander String Quartet's complete Shostakovich cycle. Superbly recorded at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2005-06, this exquisite collection contains the first seven quartets, the Piano Quintet with legendary Australian pianist Roger Woodward, and two exceptional transcriptions for string quartet by ASQ's first violinist of a pair of the piano Preludes and Fugues from Op. 87 (1950-51). Spanning roughly the period from 1937-1960, this beautiful collection is accompanied by superb liner notes from musicologist Eric Bromberger.
