About "String Quartet No. 1 in C Major, Op. 49 : Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 1 in C Major, Op. 49: IV. Allegro" by Borodin Quartet

Shostakovich's First Quartet ends with a mischievous sprint, all youthful energy and sly grins. The Borodin Quartet attack the Allegro with crisp precision, letting the music's folk-inflected bounce feel spontaneous. It's a release of tension—bright, brief, and utterly disarming.
