part of the Migrations String Quartet Weekend
Vítězslava Kaprálová String Quartet No. 1, Op. 8
Bedřich Smetana String Quartet No. 1 in E minor From my life
This mid-afternoon concert featuring the Pavel Haas Quartet sees the award-winning Czech string quartet perform music by their compatriots. The concert opens with Vítězslava Kaprálová’s String Quartet No 1, written in 1935 while she holidayed in the scenic countryside of the Czech-Moravian Highlands. The piece is said to reflect her surroundings offering a sense of ease and calm. Smetana’s autobiographical and much-loved first string quartet, encompasses the politics and culture that resulted from his Austro Hungarian/ethnic Czech upbringing. Of it he reflected: ‘I wanted to picture in tones the course of my life’.
