This exciting and varied program of chamber music by Janacek features the talents of the world renowned Prazak Quartet, who are joined by a quartet of their friends to perform the composer's beloved Concertino. The main works on the album are the two String Quartets, which not only incorporate the tonalities of Czech folk music, but also reflect the rhythms of speech in the Czech language. This super-audio recording from Praga allows all the nuances of the music to be heard with crystal clarity.
