Dvorák : Quatuor et quintette americain

Description

After a very successful concert at the Champs Hill concert hall, the famous Škampa quartet returned to Champs Hill to record this disc of Antonín Dvořák's American String Quartet and the Quintet Op. 96-97, joined by violist Krzysztof Chorzelski for the latter. The quartet spoke about their choice of repertoire: "We were captivated by the charming coincidence of the two works being intended for string quartet, while the previous work, Op. 95, is nothing less than the monumental Symphony No. 9, the 'New World Symphony'." The Škampa Quartet is among the finest of an exceptional group of current Czech string quartets that have represented their country in the world's greatest concert halls for twenty-five years.
