Shostakovich came relatively late to the string quartet; his First Quartet postdates his Fifth Symphony. But his voice was fully formed, and the freshness, originality and formal power of this debut quartet laid the foundations for a cycle that evolved into one of the supreme achievements of 20th-century chamber music, with this pole-axing String Quartet No. 8 standing at its centre as one of the composer's finest achievements.

As the pre-eminent Russian chamber ensemble of their era, the Borodin String Quartet had a close personal relationship with the composer - their cellist, Valentin Berlinsky had studied with Shostakovich - and their performances of the quartet from the 2002 Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival in Finland have an authority derived from decades of immersion in Shostakovich's music.
