Prokofiev's String Quartet No 2 in F Major and String Quartet No 3 by Alfred Schnittke were two distinct sides to a perfect whole, the first firmly located in Russian folk melody, the second wandering through varied musical landscapes.
The Shostakovich String Quartet began its fifth tour of Australia with an ecstatically beautiful miniature by Australian composer John Peterson; an uncharacteristically gloomy and tortured piece by Rachmaninov; equally uncharacteristic tonality and lyricism from Richard Meale and a jolly little quartet about World War II by Dimitri himself.
Although the quartet will not be presenting any of Shostakovich's works in its Musica Viva concert at the Concert Hall on Thursday, it has included two other masterpieces from the Russian repertoire: Profofiev's engagingly tuneful String Quartet No. 2 (based on folk melodies deriving from the Caucasus region) and Tchaikovsky's Quartet No. 3.

The seriousness of his First String Quartet (1930) surprised many of its first listeners, who were accustomed to thinking of Prokofiev as an irreverent “bad boy”; but close listening reveals a piece that does not lack for wit, even if it often veers towards gallows humor.

Quartet #11 in F minor is a very pessimistic work indeed and the St Petersburg String Quartet are very much attuned to the undercurrents that permeate this seven-movement work.
Quartet #13 is a one-movement tour-de-force that rather resembles Prokofiev's Second Symphony for utter savagery and deep painful passion.
The 11th quartet is cast in seven short sections and, while maintaining his disciplined approach to the inner logic of quartet writing, the composer pays tribute to the violin, in particular, as the folk dancing "fiddle" that it originated as.
