about

Certainly the most intense chamber programme that might be dedicated to the joint memory of Sviatoslav Richter and Dmitri Shostakovich: the Quintet, which the composer played on tour with the Beethoven Quartet in the 1940s Soviet Union - and frequently programmed, with the Pražaks, by Evgeni Koroliov, one of the rare Russian pianists who can pride himself on being a direct descendant of Richter in the Russian repertoire and Bach -, coupled with the 1960 quartets: No. 7, Op.108, a funereal divertimento dedicated to Nina Vassilievna, and No. 8, Op.110, a vigorous protestation perhaps in reaction to the sight of a destroyed Dresden but especially in memory of the massacre perpetrated by Bolshevism and the war.
