This is the first installment in the Pacifica Quartet's highly anticipated, four-volume CD survey of the complete Shostakovich string quartets: The Soviet Experience: String Quartets by Dmitri Shostakovich and his Contemporaries. The Soviet Experience is the first Shostakovich quartet cycle to include works by other important composers of the Soviet era, adding variety and perspective to the listening experience. The Pacifica Quartet performed the complete Shostakovich cycle to great acclaim in New York and Chicago and at the University of Illinois in Urbana, Ill., during the 2010 2011 season. The Chicago Tribune said, 'The remarkable Pacifica Quartet . . . coaxed the music's unfathomable sorrows, fleeting joys and macabre humor to the surface as if creating it on the spot.' The New York Times called the Pacifica 'enterprising and eloquent' and said its Shostakovich installments were 'beautifully and powerfully played.'
10/10: Cedille certainly produces some of the smartest 'concept' albums in the classical music business today, because the concept always seems to work musically. Now the Pacifica Quartet is one of the best chamber ensembles out there, as its Mendelssohn recordings for this same label attest. Even so, there's no dearth of fine Shostakovich cycles, from the Borodin Quartet to the Emerson. These performances, every bit as fine as those, would be excellent by themselves, but they do risk getting lost in the discographic shuffle. So it was an inspired idea to pair them in this series with other important works in the same medium by Shostakovich's contemporaries…. A great start to a very promising series. –ClassicsToday.com, David Hurwitz, October 2011
The excellent Pacifica Quartet, which has demonstrated its empathy with Shostakovich's music in recent concert performances, offers electrifying interpretations of his Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Quartets. The group conveys every shade of Shostakovich's extreme emotional palette in a set Volume 1 of a series called 'The Soviet Experience' that also includes a stirring rendition of Miaskovsky's String Quartet No. 13 in A minor. –New York Times, 2011 Music Gift Guide, Vivien Schweitzer
