About

An intense chamber programme dedicated to the joint memory of Sviatoslav Richter and Dmitri Shostakovich. The Quintet, which the composer played on tour with the Beethoven Quartet in 1940s Soviet Union, is presented here by the Pra˛aks and Evgeni Koroliov, one of those rare Russian pianists who can pride himself on being a direct descendant of Richter in Russian repertoire.

It is coupled with the 1960 quartets: No.7, a funereal divertimento dedicated to Nina Vassilievna (1954), and No.8, a vigorous protestation at the destruction of Dresden and almost certainly against the inhumanity perpetrated by Bolshevism.
