• ANTON ARENSKY: String Quartet No. 2 in A minor, Op.36 “Two Cellos”

"Step into the shadowy and extreme sound-worlds of Beethoven, Arensky, and Shostakovich. From the ironies of Soviet-era turmoil to the radical Vienna and the mournful depths of 19th-century Russia, this program reveals the profound emotional resonance of the string quartet."
