string quartet in B flat major, Op.133 Performers Pavel Haas Quartet
One of the world’s most exciting contemporary chamber ensembles, the
much-lauded Pavel Haas Quartet is named after the Czech composer Pavel
Haas (1899–1944). Their reputation for championing the music –
both familiar and unfamiliar – of their homeland is showcased in
this programme of Dvořák’s popular American String Quartet and the
work of the early 20th century Erwin Schulhoff. The concert ends with
the titanic Op. 130 Quartet by Beethoven, one of his final works. The
PHQ perform it in its original version with the famous Grosse Fuge or
“Great Fugue”, which Igor Stravinsky called "an absolutely
contemporary piece of music that will be contemporary forever."
