Carducci Quartet

Strong words, softly spoken: in the wartime Soviet Union, no composer dared to speak openly. But Shostakovich’s Third Quartet hides dark secrets beneath its witty and tuneful surface – just as Rebecca Clarke, Fanny Mendelssohn and Caroline Shaw convey a world of unsung experience in their own deeply personal chamber music. Expect pure emotion from the international award-winning Carducci Quartet.
