We are delighted to announce that the Jerusalem Quartet have won the Chamber category of the BBC Music Magazine Awards for their recording of Shostakovich Quartet Nos 6, 8 and 11 on Harmonia Mundi.
WHAT THE JURY SAID:
"This is challenging, unpredictable Shostakovich which always convinces even when the approach is new. The Jerusalem Quartet´s tonal range is
daunting too."
WHAT THE VOTERS SAID:
´I was sure that I had pretty much definitive recordings of all of Shostakovich´s Quartets. The raw passion of this CD, especially the Eighth, has made me think again.´ Brian Sabin, Boston, US
This prestigious recognition comes as we await the release of the quartet´s latest Harmonia Mundi recording - Schubert´s celebrated Death and the Maiden Quartet and the Quartettsatz in C minor.
Thank you all for your votes.
With best regards
Love
Jerusalem Quartet
