Dmitri Shostakovich String Quartet No. 8 in C minor, Op. 110
Ludwig van Beethoven String Quartet in C-sharp minor, Op. 131
For the internationally renowned and multiple award-winning Aris Quartet, the fugue represents a musical model of memory, dialogue, and conflict. Through three carefully selected string quartets, the four musicians demonstrate how major composers from different eras—such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Shostakovich—engage with this highly complex polyphonic form, reshaping it through distinct creative approaches and thereby bringing it to new life: as a conversation of voices, of epochs, and of composers themselves.
