About "String Quartet No. 4 in D Major, Op. 83 : Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 4 in D Major, Op. 83: 4. Allegretto" by Borodin Quartet

Shostakovich’s Fourth Quartet ends with a restless Allegretto, its folk-like melody pitted against a creeping dissonance. The Borodin players find the smile behind the grimace, a dance that never quite shakes off its underlying dread.
