-Lovely album from vocalist Theo Bleckmann, percussionist John Hollenbeck, and pianist Gary Versace. Nothing but quality from the Winter & Winter label.
This is the second installment in the Pacifica Quartet's highly anticipated, fourvolume CD survey of the complete Shostakovich string quartets: The Soviet Experience: String Quartets by Dmitri Shostakovich and his Contemporaries. The Soviet Experience is the first Shostakovich quartet cycle to include works by other important composers of the Soviet era, adding variety and perspective to the listening experience.

Much as I am typically wedded to complete albums, the phenomenon of album pricing for tracks over ten minutes, perhaps coupled with my formative years with LPs, does sometimes have me thinking that a 40 minute album for $2.45 is a much more attractive thing than a 50 minute album for $5.99, in terms of both price and length.
