The origins of this album - the Artemis Quartet's first recordings of Shostakovich - lie in the ensemble's long-established relationship with the great pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja. For years, the quartet had been wanting to record the Russian composer's Piano Quintet with her.
It is coupled with Quartets No 5 and No 7, multi-faceted works which are expressive of the composer's private persona.
"On their first Shostakovich disc, the playing is of the highest musical and technical quality. The quintet takes its place alongside celebrated accounts by Sviatoslav Richter and Vladimir Ashkenazy." Sunday Times
