Following a very successful concert at the Music Room of Champs Hill, the renowned Škampa Quartet returned to Champs Hill to record this disc featuring Antonín Dvořák's American String Quartet and Quintet Opp. 96-97, joined by violist Krzysztof Chorzelski for the latter.
The quartet talk about their choice of repertoire: "We were seduced by the charming coincidence of both opus numbers having been destined for string quartet, while the preceding work, Op.95, happens to be nothing smaller than the monumental Symphony No. 9, the 'New World' Symphony."
The Škampa Quartet is among the very finest of an outstanding group of current Czech string quartets that has represented their country in major Concert Halls around the world for twenty-five years.
Dvorak:
String Quartet No. 12 in F major, Op. 96 'American'
String Quintet No. 3 in E flat major, Op. 97 'American'
Krzysztof Chorzelski (viola)
