Music in the Vineyards: The Pacifica Quartet

Beginning with "Four Diversions" from 1930 by the Lithuanian born Louis Gruenberg (who died in Beverly Hills!), the Pacifica Quartet also plays the only work that the normally prolific Shostakovich wrote in 1936, as a tactic to avoid becoming a target of Stalin's purge of the intellectual class. Dvorak's signature American quartet rounds out the program.
