In its new recording for GENUIN, the Asasello Quartett pays tribute to one of music history’s great, seemingly forgotten figures. The ensemble breathes new life into Vissarion Shebalin’s First String Quartet, an early work by this remarkable composer, teacher, and close friend of Dmitri Shostakovich, who passed away far too soon in 1963 when he was only 60. Based in Cologne, this world-class string quartet delivers Shebalin’s work with extraordinary energy – music full of sharp edges, sweeping lines, and profound historical significance. A must-listen!
