An illuminating coupling. The Shostakovich is not the most searing on disc, but few accounts so fully bring out the timbral contrasts underlying the music’s unyielding slowness. Van Vlijmen’s quartet impresses more through the intensity of its gestures than its actual content, but the Schonberg’s commitment makes for a powerful experience.'
