| Brady Johnson has been singing in gospel quartets for many years and is a member of the Muddy River Quartet. |
| These include lieder, thirty string quartets and six symphonies, plus numerous overtures and choral works. |
| However, it is not a complete cycle, for it was recorded before Shostakovich had composed his 14th and 15th quartets. |
| Some of his chamber works are the eight string quartets, two piano trios, two piano quintets, a piano quartet and sonatas for violin and cello. |
| From barbershop quartets to gospel close-harmony groups to doo-wop to the kooky a cappella experiments, vocals-only pop music has a long history. |
| He counts work on Shostakovich's quartets with Rostropovich as among the high points of his musical life. |
