As is generally the case with chamber music works by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958), the string quartets are no longer the focus of musical attention and his smaller-scale compositions are easily dwarfed by his nine symphonies, rich body of choral music and a number of his individual orchestral works. This relative neglect is unquestionably unjust. The collection on this CD excludes the work Household Music dating from 1940/41 which can alternatively be played on other instruments. The string quartets are widely varied in their individual structure, revealing the composer at three different phases of his life and career.

With their recording of Dmitri Shostakovich's complete string quartets, the Quatuor Danel has crafted an impressive opus that delves into the composer's life with deep musical understanding and establishes unparalleled standards in interpreting his chamber music. These new live recordings, stemming from their 2022 residency at the Mendelssohn Hall of the Gewandhaus Leipzig, capture the full spectrum of emotions embedded in Shostakovich’s quartet cycle, from the ethereal to the profound, from the whimsical to the contemplative. With their interpretation of this extraordinary cycle, the Quatuor Danel has forged a distinctive Shostakovich style that cannot be found in any other quartet. Primarius Marc Danel reflects on the resonance with the audience in Leipzig, describing it as nothing short of sensational. “I hope the recordings will also convey the collective spirit we permanently felt during our residency in the Mendelssohn Hall."
