LIFE IS SOUND, MUSIC IS LIKE TALKING (JANÁČEK)
Czech ensemble Pavel Haas Quartet delivers a sublime execution of Janáček’s first string quartet – written in 1923 and inspired by Leo Tolstoy’s novella Kreuzer Sonata –, Sjostakovitsj’s eighth string quartet and finally Beethoven’s Grosse Fuge. Exuding unparalleled intensity, these four critically acclaimed musicians take the audience on a musical rollercoaster that explores the various faces of human suffering.
Pavel Haas Quartet: Veronika Jaruskova (violin), Marek Zwiebel (violin), Pavel Nikl (viola), Peter Jarusek (cello)
