Sunday Concerts: Dvořák Piano Quartet

"The Dvořák Quartet bring an endearing affability to the opening movement of the First Piano Quartet" (Gramphone)

The Dvořák Piano Quartet, as their namesake implies, is one of the top Czech chamber ensembles at the moment. They blend together as if they had grown up together, and perform the music of Antonín Dvořák as if it was in their DNA.

Granted the right to bear Dvořák's own name by his descendants, this celebrated Czech ensemble brings authentic idiomatic insight to two towering piano quartets. Brahms's stormy G minor masterpiece precedes Dvořák's own glorious Op.87 - lyrical, dance-infused and unmistakably Bohemian - performed by musicians for whom this music is, quite literally, in their blood.
