Amazon.com The Borodin Quartet plays the music of its namesake as to the manner born. Theirs is a beautiful, lush realization of this lyrical work, polished and full of nuance, and well-served by the 1980 analog recording. The coupling with Borodin's First Quartet is especially attractive. --Ted Libbey Similar CDs

CD Reviews"Why not be totally changed into fire?" NotATameLion | Michigan | 03/23/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Abba Joseph once asked: "Why not be totally changed into fire?"This disc brings a similar question to mind--Why can't all recordings be this unbelievable? This is one of the most beautiful discs in my entire collection. I have few that are as near to a realized ideal of perfection as this disc. The Borodin String Quartet's performance grips one at the outset with the dreamlike opening of Borodin's String Quartet No. 1 in A. It takes complete hold of the listener and does not let them go until the Finale of Borodin's String Quartet No. 2 in D.I cannot find words to describe this disc. I recommend it unreservedly. Get a copy today." Divine, delicate sonority smg | ny, ny | 11/22/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Borodin's 2nd Quartet is a perfect example of the renaissance principle that beautiful music mimics the human voice. To the credit of the eponymous quartet, while listening to the notturno, I feel as if am being serenaded by a beautiful chanteuse. It is a movement of such profound elegance and feeling that one is disarmed by the experience, while the movements framing it are in turn lyrical and provocative. Certainly a keystone of the repertoire." One of the most moving performances ever! smg | 10/19/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a performance that one simply cannot come close to. The 2nd quartet is one of the most beautiful quartets of all time, played here with profound emotion and a sound that takes one to another world. This CD moved me to tears, I urge you to buy it. This music and the way it is performed by the Borodin String Quartet is simply in a class of it's own."
