Celebrating a milestone 70th-anniversary year, the world-leading Borodin Quartet has signed to Decca Classics for a major series of recordings of the music of Shostakovich. The centerpiece of this landmark season, the Shostakovich project will comprise the composer's complete works for string quartet. No quartet performs Russian repertoire like the authoritative players of the Borodin Quartet – Shostakovich himself personally supervised the ensemble's study of each of his quartets and a profound understanding of his music has been passed down through the generations.
