East Neuk Festival 2022 (4/4)

Rich Romantic music from two Czech composers, Dvorak and Suk, as the Pavel Haas quartet and pianist Boris Giltburg join forces in Fife.

Long-standing collaborators pianist Boris Giltburg and the Pavel Haas Quartet bring Czech chamber music to this beautiful seaside festival in Fife.

Dvorak's quintet is open-hearted and lyrical like many of his magnificent chamber works, and it has been hugely popular since it was first premiered in Prague in 1888. Dvorak's composition pupil and son-in-law Josef Suk wrote his heartfelt Meditation Op 35a based on an ancient Czech hymn after the outbreak of war in 1914.
