Their intimate and private nature stand in stark contrast to his symphonies. His late quartets evoke the spirit of Beethoven in that there is clearly a refinement of the composer’s musical language and process as well as experimentation in musical form. This disc features the Prazák Quartet in Shostakovich’s last two quartets.  Price: $26.98 |
