5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning interpretations of two great works, 31 Mar 2003
By A Customer
By any standards, the Keller Quartet rate as one of the best quartets in the world - recordings of Bartok, Kurtug and Bach have quickly, and firmly, established them as commited artists with serious intent. This latest recording confirms that status and bears witness to the quartet's ability to convey music with great precision and immaculate sensitivity. The Schittke is wonderful, but it is the last Shostakovich quartet which stands out here. There is considerable competition in the recorded field for this work - not least the very recent Emerson Quartet cycle which culminates with this monumental work. But the Keller Quartet offer something that I have not heard in other recordings of this work - a spare and empty beauty, a resigned grace, a brutal purity, that seems best to express Shostakovich's mood in his later days. ECM New Series further establishes itself, with this recording, as one of the few labels left to present radically new interpretations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterful new recordings of two 20th century masterpieces, 16 Aug 2004
By H. Granot (Ein Dor, Israel) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Under the blue title in this interesting CD by the wonderful label Ecm wroth Lento, which means slowly. Two chamber pieces fill up this CD by two Russian Composers, Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998) and Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975). The first piece, Piano Quintet is a very personal work by Schnittke. It is dark music, not an easy one, which will need to hear couple of times before understanding its full impact. Also given here a masterful performance by the Keller Quartet. The playing is solid and build up with tensions. The next piece is accurse by the great Russian Dmitri Shostakovich. So here we have his last chamber work, the String Quartet No. 15 which like Schinttke work is not an easy one. The composer worth it very closely to his death, almost without the ability to write it in his own hands. The long first movement, Elegie, is for me one of Shostakovich most spiritual music. The next movements are full of fear and shocks, maybe from death, and they lead to an enigmatic last movement. Here also the Keller Quartet gives a powerful playing. The Ecm production is also great. With detailed notes and well balanced clear sound, making those performances a top choice for those seeking alternative recordings of masterpiece chambers works of the 20th century.
