About

Recorded 1969 (Nos.11 & 12) and 1971 (No.13).
 
Shostakovich first met the Beethoven Quartet in Moscow after his First String Quartet was played by the ensemble in 1938. From this meeting, a unique artistic friendship began, which ended only with the death of the composer. This ensemble played an important role in the development of Shostakovich’s chamber works. They premiered all of his string quartets with the exception of his first and last and also the Piano Quintet, with the composer at the piano.
