Our Take

Ah, Quartetto Nous, you sly dogs. Back at it again with the Shostakovich string quartets. In Vol. 2, these musical maestros continue to showcase their prowess in translating the complex emotions of Shostakovich's compositions.

The album kicks off with Quartet No. 4 in D major, a piece that balances the delicate and the dissonant with finesse. The players navigate the shifting dynamics with ease, creating a sense of tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Moving on to Quartet No. 7 in F sharp minor, Quartetto Nous takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions, from introspective melancholy to frenetic bursts of energy. The quartet's chemistry is palpable, with each player perfectly complementing the others to create a cohesive and emotive whole.

But it's Quartet No. 8 in C minor where Quartetto Nous truly shines. This iconic piece is a powerhouse of emotion, with the quartet delivering a performance that is both haunting and transcendent. The players bring out the raw intensity of the music, leaving you utterly captivated from start to finish.

Overall, Quartetto Nous' second volume of Shostakovich string quartets is a triumph. Their technical skill and emotional depth make this album a must-listen for fans of classical music. So grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let Quartetto Nous transport you to a world of beauty and turmoil.
