The Shostakovich Quartets were recorded on June 17, 1962, at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, using three Schoeps M201 microphones. Original recording on 35mm 3-track magnetic film, which has been lost. Originally released as SR90309. This album was remastered from a 2-track magnetic tape using Wilma Cozart’s original 3–2 mix."
