A living fragment of classical music
history, the legendary Moscowbased Borodin Quartet commands
unique respect in the world of
chamber music. The Quartet
enjoyed a close relationship
with Dmitri Shostakovich, who
personally supervised its studies of
his pieces – now widely regarded
as definitive interpretations;
the printed music used by the
group still bears markings in the
composer’s own hand.
Now approaching its 70th concert
season, and acclaimed as one of
the world’s finest chamber music
quartets, the ever-evolving group
brings the mighty ‘Borodin sound’
once more to Australia, with a
classical repertoire including
masterpieces by Beethoven,
Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky.
Expect a faultless ensemble
performance of tremendous wit,
depth and authority.
