About

The period in which the Divertimenti for string quartet and winds originated was replete with revolutionary events for Mozart (the struggle of the twenty-year-old “child prodigy” to be accepted as a respected musician, the death of his mother, unreciprocated ardour). The divertimenti, however, didn't reflect these life dramas but instead carry memories of the warm Italian sun on his recent travels. Italianate musical style and grace also had a big influence on Mozart’s chamber instrumental works.

The Stamic Quartet combines within itself the strong tradition of the Czech quartet school and a long-term interest in the classicist repertoire. This ensemble’s association with the phenomenal horn-playing brothers Zdeněk and Bedřich Tylšar has resulted in a model recording of Mozart’s divertimenti: a recording that (just like these compositions themselves) should serve primarily as a celebration of the joyous side of life.

Stamic Quartet:
- Bohuslav Matoušek, 1st violin
- Josef Kekula, 2nd violin
- Jan Pěruška, viola
- Vladimír Leixner, cello
