About This Song
About "String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor, Op. 110 : Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor, Op. 110: I. Largo" by Borodin Quartet
Shostakovich's Eighth Quartet opens with a Largo of devastating stillness, a lament carved from stone. The Borodin Quartet sustain a hushed intensity, each phrase heavy with grief and memory. It's music that doesn't weep but stares, frozen, into the abyss.
