Description
The Jerusalem Quartet always seeks out the greatest challenges. In the second part of its Shostakovich cycle in cooperation with the Kölner Philharmonie, it unfolds an impressive range of expression. This ranges from the archaic yet generous flair of the Fourth String Quartet to the utterly desolate world of the Fifteenth String Quartet in the key of death, E-flat minor.
