Live from Wigmore Hall, London, the Borodin Quartet, one of the world's legendary ensembles, returns with an all-Russian programme. The quartet joins forces with the renowned Irish pianist, Barry Douglas in Shostakovich's powerful Piano Quintet, one of the composer's best-known chamber works. It was written for the Beethoven Quartet who gave its premiere in Moscow in 1941, and then won Shostakovich the Stalin Prize in 1941. The Borodin Quartet also play the elegiac Andante cantabile from Tchaikovsky's 1st String Quartet, and Barry Douglas plays two movements from Tchaikovsky's cycle, The Seasons.
