Shostakovich Plus: Carducci Quartet
Fiona Talkington presents the Carducci Quartet playing Beethoven and Shostakovich as part of the Shostakovich Plus series at LSO St Luke's.
This week's series of lunchtime concerts, recorded at LSO St Luke's in London, is entitled Shostakovich Plus. It explores key chamber works by the composer contrasted with works by others from different periods - selected by the performers themselves.
The Carducci Quartet have chosen music by Beethoven, who like Shostakovich triumphed creatively despite political upheaval and personal adversity - his 'Serioso' quartet was composed as Napoleon laid siege to Vienna and while the composer was already fighting his own battle of losing his hearing.
