The acclaimed Jerusalem String Quartet performs a concert of "Russian Masters" from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center featuring the 8th and 12th String Quartets of Dmitri Shostakovich. Both works embody the more private, personal, and experimental facets of his musicianship. From the dolorous intoning of the composer’s own musical initials, played by the cello at the outset of the 8th quartet, to the alternately tuneful and dissonant episodes of the 12th quartet, we experience an artist who wore his heart on his sleeve, whose probing creativity advanced the art of chamber music, and whose work helped sustain him and his fellow musicians through the most trying of times.
