Pavel Haas Quartet

From Wigmore Hall, the Pavel Haas Quartet from Czechia play Suk's Meditation on an old Bohemian Chorale, Martinů's String Quartet No 2 and Korngold's String Quartet No 3.

A Czech theme runs through this lunchtime recital. The medieval chorale on which the Meditation by Dvořák’s pupil and son-in-law Josef Suk is based is still well known in the Czech Republic. Martinů’s Second Quartet was the first of his works to earn him international attention, while Brno-born Korngold’s Third Quartet dates from his years in exile in the 1940s.
