'Take note: this is one of the most polished and musically exciting young string quartets in the world today,' announced The Washington Post last year. The Pavel Haas Quartet play the best-loved of Dvořák’s quartets alongside the urbane lyricism of Ravel and pieces by Schubert and Britten. BBC Music magazine’s Editor, Oliver Condy, explains why he has recommended tonight’s concert: “Since being part of the BBC New Generation scheme a few years back, the Pavel Haas Quartet has been making waves in the UK and Europe. Undoubtedly the most talented of all the fine chamber groups to emerge recently from the Czech Republic, this young quartet has proved themselves to be one of the most versatile quartets on the scene.”
