Title: The Late Quartets, Vol. 1 - Beethoven, Op. 127 & Shostakovich, Op. 122
Artist: Alma Quartet
Label: Challenge
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 608917298826
Genre: Classical Artists
Release Date: 2024-10-04
Number of Discs: 1
As much as the now popular sentence naming Shostakovich "the Beethoven of the 20th Century" is debatable, nobody can deny an amount of contact points between the two composers: above all, the favorite musical mediums and the engagement in historical and political coeval affairs. However, we think that nothing like their Late String Quartets can offer material for a comparative listening and analysis. In both cases we can easily detect what Edward Said defined and discussed as the "Late Style". And in both cases we are in front of a complex and vibrant dialectic between a process of abstraction and a moral imperative to stick to the "hic et nunc". Such an intellectual and existential confrontation is fruitfully without solution and offers a never-ending space to insights and interpretations. Here we propose Alma Quartet's outlook first instalment.
