) | Label: Hyperion Catalog: CDA67987 Format: CD Marc-André Hamelin (piano), Takács QuartetShostakovich: Piano Quintet, String Quartet No.2 It is hard to envisage a more enticing prospect: Shostakovich’s densely woven String Quartet No.2 and his deceptively backward-looking Piano Quintet, performed by the stellar Takács Quartet and Marc-André Hamelin, generously notated by David Fanning, and lovingly recorded by Hyperion’s Simon Eadon and Andrew Keener team. Seventy minutes of post-Revolutionary Russian ecstasy.  Price: $22.98 |
