Our Take

The OBERTON STRING OCTET's latest album, "Slavic Soul: Shostakovich, Afanasyev & Gliere," is a whirlwind of emotion and technical prowess. From the haunting melodies of Shostakovich to the lush harmonies of Afanasyev and Gliere, this album takes you on a journey through the depths of Slavic music.

The octet's performance is nothing short of stunning, with each member bringing their A-game to the table. The interplay between the strings is seamless, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally compelling.

One of the standout tracks on the album is Shostakovich's String Octet in A Major, Op. 11. The octet's interpretation of this piece is nothing short of breathtaking, with each note dripping with emotion and intensity. It's a masterclass in ensemble playing, with each member blending their individual voice into a cohesive whole.

Afansyev and Gliere's works are equally impressive, with the octet bringing out the nuances and subtleties of each piece with finesse and precision. The lush harmonies and intricate rhythms are brought to life in a way that is both refreshing and captivating.

Overall, "Slavic Soul" is a must-listen for any classical music aficionado. The OBERTON STRING OCTET's impeccable musicianship and emotional depth make this album a true gem in the world of chamber music. Grab your headphones, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey through the soul of Slavic music.
