Tchaikovsky - String Quartet No. 2, Op. 22

The Borodin Quartet, consisting of Valentin Berlinsky (Cello), Andrei Abramenkov (Violin), Igor Naidin (Viola) and Ruben Aharonian (Violin) perform Tchaikovsky's String Quartet No. 2, Op. 22 at the Kuhmo Festival for Chamber Music 2002. The work dates from 1874 and emerges from a period in his life in which Tchaikovsky applied musical forms and gestures of the past, with this quartet disclosing a strong reliance on the musical language of Schumann. Responding to a successful performance he wrote his brother Modest: "I consider it one of my best compositions; none has flowed out of me so easily and simply. I wrote it almost in one sitting.” To his younger brother Anatoly the composer wrote: "If I've written anything in my life that flowed spontaneously from the very depths of my soul, then it was the first movement of this quartet”.
