About

The Škampa Quartet, renowned for its recordings primarily of Czech composers such as Janáček, Dvořák and Smetana, has chosen two pleasant quintets from Dvořák’s mature period for its new album.
In the Quintet in G major, the temperament and vitality of the first and last movements alternate with the tender, Dvořákesque lyricism of the slow movement.
The piano part of the Quintet in A major is unusually brilliant and rewarding for the pianist, and Dvořák has here succeeded in achieving the ideal symbiosis between the sound of the piano and the string instruments.
The quartet members have found ideal music partners in the promising French contrabassist Laurčne Durantel and the charismatic British pianist Kathryn Stott. Kathryn Stott is a much sought-after chamber performer who has a number of premieres to her name (concertos by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies and Michael Nyman) and is a long-time partner of musicians such as Yo-Yo Ma and Janine Jansen.
Škampa Quartet: Pavel Fischer – 1st violin, Jana Lukášová – 2nd violin, Radim Sedmidubský – viola, Lukáš Polák – cello
