Shostakovich, Dmitri (1906-1975)

Description:

Two old Shostakovich recordings by the Jerusalem String Quartet (HMC 901865 (out of print) and the now hard-to-find HMC 901953) are now available in a 2-CD set from the HMG series. The viola player on this disc, Bressler, is now a member of the Berlin Philharmonic, and this recording is of the former member, so to speak. This is ambitious Shostakovich by a founding member.
