Shostakovich’s Fourth String Quartet, written the year after performances of his music were officially forbidden in the Soviet Union, requires its interpreters to strike a balance between open expression and something altogether more introvert.

The Razumovsky Ensemble’s musicians also address the musical and emotional contrasts of Beethoven’s light-hearted Serenade and Schumann’s impassioned Piano Quintet, a genre-defining masterwork.
