About

Chandos is delighted to announce the complete Shostakovich String Quartet cycle performed by Sorrel Quartet. This highly attractive box set is available at bargain price for the first time.
The Sorrel Quartet is recognised as one of the finest British quartets of today and the Shostakovich quartets are works with which they have built up a strong association and empathy. The quartet was coached by Rostislav Dubinsky shortly before his death. As a member of the Borodin Trio, Dubinsky made the first-ever recordings of the complete quartet, in the presence of Shostakovich himself- the ultimate seal of approval!
The individual volumes were well received by the critics and public alike, and at this price the box set promises to be even more popular.

Review of the series:
‘… I am more than ever convinced that the Sorrel members are creating something special. In the face of stiff competition, their dramatic, detailed interpretations stand out – conscientious and convincing, firmly supported by secure, sometimes startling technical ability, appropriate tonal qualities and a powerful ensemble sensibility.’ Fanfare
