Smetana’s lush string quartet, “From My Life,” was written as an intimate confession, a tonal biography of his life, his loves, and in response to his subsequent deafness. Together with Sibelius’ evocative En Saga (Legend), Shostakovich’s explosive String Quartet No. 8, and Schubert’s “Storm of Life” for piano-duet, these deeply intimate musical self-portraits detail the inner lives of those who composed them.
