About
This album features some of the finest chamber music written during the 1920s. The Janacek String Quartet, along with pianist Ivo Kahanek (in the Quintet) deliver stirring, incisive performances of these two great works.
The Janacek String Quartet was founded in 1947 and is one of today's finest European-based string quartets. Pianist Ivo Kahanek won the Prague String International music competition in 2004. He maintains a very active concert schedule.
