With the Borodin Quartet, it wasn't easy for Alexander Borodin to receive due recognition in comparison to his younger fellow countryman, Tchaikovsky. As a professor of chemistry, he found very little time to compose music although Borodin is considered one of the most important Russian symphonic composers of the 19th century. Borodin also created works for small ensembles; because of the beautiful and slow notturno, his String Quartet No. 2 belongs to one of the most important compositions in chamber music. Dmitri Shostakovitch, born in 1906, has been often honored as one of the outstanding composers of this century. Shostakovitch was devasted by the destruction of Dresden and used the composition of his moving String Quartet No. 8 as a means to overcome his war experiences. The intensity of this piece is displayed by the relaxedness of its climax in the largo, a serene ending to his composition. The international career of the Moscow Philharmonic Quartet began in 1955 with its reception of the honorable title, The Borodin Quartet. These 1962 recordings show the greatest level of interpretation by its musicians. The result is a penetrating performance with great expressiveness and feeling. Even the highest demands are met by the warm and full, but intelligible sound pattern.
