“... to give it a strong vote as the Shostakovich cycle of choice.“ (International Record Review 5/2009)
With Vol. V the Mandelring Quartet has accomplished its complete edition of the fi fteen string quartets of Dmitri
Shostakovich. Highly praised in the trade press as one of the outstanding complete editions of our time the last
volume presents the Quartets Nos. 11, 13 and 15. The musical language of these late chamber works becomes more
jagged, the colours more pale and the tone more elegiac.
The Eleventh String Quartet of Dmitri Shostakovich received its premiere in the former Leningrad at the preliminary
celebrations of the composer’s sixtieth birthday. During the very same night, the composer suffered a serious
heart attack which changed his life and way of thinking. While his daily life was determined by stays in hospital and
at health resorts, Shostakovich occupied himself very frequently with death in his late works. And the three works
recorded here, too, are either commemorative works written for colleagues or requiem-compositions in view of
the composer’s own end.
Quartet No. 11 (1966), dedicated to the late violinist of the Beethoven Quartet, an ensemble with which the composer
was intimately acquainted, appears as a multi-movement suite in which character pieces such as the “Etude”
and the “Humoresque” turn up – with a grim, cynical humour, of course. The 13th Quartet composed in 1970 is
dedicated to the violist of the Beethoven Quartet and is a portrait, in a single monumental movement, of this instrument
that Shostakovich loved so much. In the fi nal, 15th Quartet (1974), the composer fi nally seizes upon a radical
formal solution: six Adagio movements come together to form a large work of mourning which bears no more
dedication…
With Shostakovich’s fi fteen string quartets the Mandelring Quartet presents a quartet cycle, which in its entirety
probably represents the most important corpus of string quartets of the twentieth century.
