East Neuk Festival 2022

The Pavel Haas Quartet makes a visit to this gem of a Festival with works by Korngold and Janacek from the beautiful south coast of Fife.

The first of two recitals by the Pavel Haas Quartet given at the Fife festival this year.

Korngold, writing in the 1940s and during a period of deep depression used themes from his film scores as he composed his third and final string quartet. Nearly 20 years earlier Janacek completed his colourful second quartet, inspired by his love for Kamila Stosslova. In one of his many letters to Stosslova, Janacek wrote about this work that, ‘you stand behind every tone – alert, fervent and loving’.

Recorded at Kilrenny Church, Fife. Presented by Tom Redmond.
