		Mikhail Kopelman was the first violinist of the Borodin Quartet for twenty years or so, and after that the first of the Tokyo Quartet, until he left the latter group in 2002.
		The other Kopelman Quartet players turn out to be classmates of his from the Moscow Conservatory, and prominent chamber players in their own rights.
		Kopelman himself is something of a legend among chamber music lovers — a player with the chops of a soloist who nonetheless went the chamber-music route.

	Edinburgh Festivals - Kopelman Quartet
		IT IS almost impossible to believe that the Kopelman Quartet has only been in existence for one year.
		In Schubert’s unfinished Quartettsatz, as with the same composer’s Death and the Maiden quartet, the Kopelman’s lustrous sound was strong and decisive, swooping from tender lyricism to bursts of fiery passion.
		Tchaikovsky’s E flat minor Op 30 is on the lengthy side, but the Kopelman shifted imperceptibly through its expressive moods - lithesome and agile one moment, frenzied or sombre the next.

		The second and third quartets are more ambitious in scope and expression: No. 2 opens in a world not so far from early Bartók, and has many pages of wit and character to offset those where four instruments just don't seem enough.
		The Borodin Quartet not only is an ensemble made of four amazing musicians who can phrase, fit, and create better than any quartets, but is more capable of making its audiences feel and perhaps even live the music itself for a period of time.
		In this case, the quartets were splendidly, outstandingly well played despite the trmendous amount of difficult sequencing and utterly dangerous traps that can make some of the best ensembles fall apart at a live performance.

		First violinist Mikhail Kopelman led the legendary Borodin Quartet for twenty years, while second violinist Boris Kuschnir and violist Igor Sulyga were founding members of the Moscow Quartet.
		Both the Borodin and Moscow Quartets enjoyed friendships with Shostakovich, thus forging a precious link to one of Russia's most profound political and artistic voices of the 20th Century.
		Equally at home with other giants of Russian literature, the Kopelman brings Dostoevsky-like sweep and nobility to the lush romanticism of Tchaikovsky and tart, acerbic wit to Prokofiev.

	Onyx Classics - Reviews
		One of my most abiding musical memories is of a series of three concerts at the Goldsmithsâ Hall where the Borodin Quartet played what was, at the time, the complete Shostakovich cycle, meaning Quartets Nos 1-11.
		The broad outline of the Borodinâs interpretative style has altered very little over the years: the earlier group maybe marginally more stylised than it later became (in the way that Rudolf Barshaiâs Moscow Chamber Orchestra was stylised), Kopelmanâs Quartet the most red-blooded, Aharonian reclaiming a certain refinement.
		There canât be many collectors of a certain age who havenât at one time or another owned a Borodin Quartet version of their namesakeâs Second Quartet, whether from the 1960s on Decca, Chandos or BBC Legends, or the later EMI coupling of both quartets (5/88 â“ nla).

		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.
		Borodin's 2nd Quartet is a perfect example of the renaissance principle that beautiful music mimics the human voice.
		Borodin, who only wrote notes in the manuscript was lucky to have this quartet record the pieces, because they brought it so to life, to its fullest.
