Artists
Quatuor ByronAbout
Their first recording is entirely devoted to Dmitri Shostakovich. The String Quartet No.8, the most famous, is a quasi-autobiographical work that evokes the composer's struggle against the Soviet regime. The String Quartet No.9 and the Two Pieces for String Quartet are less known, but are a characteristic combination of the pain and suffering mixed with sardonic humour associated with the composer.
Quatuor Byron:
- Wendy Ghysels, James Francis (violins)
- Robin Lemmel (viola)
- Coralie Devars (cello)
