Classical Court From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here. |

Downloaded the final - fourth - volume of Pacifica's Shostakovich cycle from Cedille Records website, with quartets 13-15 and a Schnitke's quartet.
A stylish cover that entirely fails to correspond to the private, intimate, soul searching mood of these works.
Excellent SQ in 96/24.
Mesmerising No.15 but - if memory serves me right - not as depressing as the Borodin's version. Not to be missed.
Have to listen to the rest now.
