Description

The Fitzwilliam String Quartet's complete Shostakovich cycle holds a unique place in recorded history — the first by a Western ensemble, made with the composer's personal blessing shortly before his death in 1975. Their interpretations are considered benchmark readings, especially for the late quartets. This 1998 London Records 6-disc reissue is an essential acquisition for any serious chamber music collection.

This is a used CD. The disc and case have been inspected and are in good condition. Broken or damaged jewel cases will be replaced before dispatch.

Condition

Disc Very Good Plus (VG+)
A few minor scuffs/scratches. This has been played, but handled with good care — and certainly not abused.
Case/Sleeve Very Good Plus (VG+)
Slight wear, marks, indentations, it may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar).
