Cuarteto Casals brings a fresh approach to Shostakovich’s quartets, employing a lighter touch that offers clarity and lyricism often missing in other recordings.
The quartet's performance allows Shostakovich's melodies to breathe, providing a more lyrical and springy interpretation that contrasts beautifully with the traditional harder sounds.
While some intensity may be lost in the earlier quartets, the Casals expertly balances spaciousness and intensity from the third quartet onward.
This unique interpretation presents Shostakovich in a new light, highlighting the emotional depth and aesthetic that varies from more common renditions.
