How much autobiography is there in Dmitri Shostakovich's music? Where and how are his experiences with Stalin's regime reflected? These questions are still being discussed today, and his 15 string quartets in particular provide a variety of answers: bitter, grotesque, lyrical, quiet. The Jerusalem Quartet is now playing all of these string quartets in a two-part cycle – nine of them this weekend, the others will follow in the 2025/26 season. These are works that are deeply moving in view of current world events. And which undoubtedly also have a special meaning for the four musicians from Israel.
