Manufacturer: Nimbus Records ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD ASIN: B000EHS75O Release Date: 2006-05-09 |
Album Description
"A group that sings as one voice, with Kopelman as a stunning lead singer...that the Kopelman Quartet can have it all - clarity of line and texture, plus richness of sound and a vast color palette - is not in doubt...the finale's wild excitement [Prokofiev No. 2] came without sacrifice of direction or diction." - ANN ARBOR NEWSAll four members of the Kopelman String Quartet studied together and graduated from the Moscow Conservatory in the 1970s. Mikhail Kopelman was the renowned leader of the Borodin String Quartet and Tokyo String Quartet during his career. All four members of the quartet have worked personally with Shostakovich. Their tours of Europe and the U.S. have received rave reviews. This is the first release in a new relationship between the Kopelman Quartet and Nimbus Records.
"The Kopelman String Quartet, which gave a thrilling concert on Tuesday night at Kilbourn Hall, is a kind of classical music all-star team - its players are all former members of some of the world's most prestigious ensembles...needless to say, the group lived up to its lofty reputation. It even surpassed it." - DEMOCRATIC AND CHRONICLE

The Beethoven Quartet was founded in Moscow in 1923 and played with the same four members for 42 years. The original first violinist played with the group for 55 years! It was Russia's single outstanding chamber group for most of that period, and many quartets by Soviet composers were written for it, including most of Shostakovich's quartets. The performers in these 1956-61 mono recordings may have been old men, but they certainly knew how these pieces were supposed to go (having been coached by the composer) and they could still play very well. This disc is the first of a complete series, one of the outstanding historical sets in the current catalogs. --Leslie Gerber
