He actually broke down crying when he heard the Borodin Quartet rehearse it back in 1960. This piece had a lot of significant meaning for him, having been written after he was forced to join the Communist Party. Although he most likely wasn't suicidal at the time (that's a commonly-spread rumour), he was certainly very depressed. But yes, I agree with you! It certainly isn't an easy piece at all, and this quartet played it wonderfully.

from wikipedia: 'Shostakovich's musical response to [a number of recent] personal crises was the Eighth String Quartet, composed in only three days. He subtitled the piece "To the victims of fascism and war", ostensibly in memory of the Dresden fire bombing that took place in 1945. Yet like the Tenth Symphony, the quartet incorporates quotations from several of his past works and his musical monogram. Shostakovich confessed to his friend Isaak Glikman, "I started thinking that if some day I die, nobody is likely to write a work in memory of me, so I had better write one myself."'

There is something so thrilling about Shostakovich. His music (especially symphonies) are so hard to understand musically, but when ur listening to it life you get a sense of intense emotion. I don’t understand how u compose something so dissonant, something that no one would even think to compose, and achieve such an effective and outstanding result. Absolute genius of a composer.

I gotta say, I love Janine's outfit in this. Everyone else looks kinda collected, both in their playing and their wardrobe and then there's Janine, just going as hard as ever.
I really admire Shostakovich as an artist. He didn't follow the typical composers before his time, and he wrote about the horrors of his life. I can't always listen to his music, because it's very unsettling, especially during pieces like this. But I love the artistry and the history behind his music.

This is so stressing me out 😅 but I can't stop watching!^^
It’s impossible to play exactly like someone else… to replicate their exact tone/colour/ dynamics but also emotion/interpretation… the violins are matching their passions beyond human reason/ability. Every stoke of the bow is done in exactly the same manner in every way; how exhilarating!!! Then same with the viola and cello. They match incredibly. Then the four together. Unfathomable… their tone is just perfect with every detail, simply amazing. Going so so passionately, and all on the exact same page… wow. Love this to death. Literally head-banging.
To me, this sounds like a soundtrack for some very intense action sequence. It would be amazing to choreograph the action to this music; you wouldn’t even need the sound of the action itself, just this incredible music.
The initial motif by the first violin is gut-wrenching in the most litteral of terms, made me remember some stuff I didn't want to know existed anymore I have never heard a violin so powerful, the torrential downpour of sound that comes after left me in shock
this piece plays in every student’s head right before the exam starts
