ReviewThis new disc continues the phenomenally high standards set by their previous discs. With these highly expressive, virtuosic performances, the Pavel Haas Quartet have done it again! --Presto ClassicsThis is becoming a bit of a habit. The Pavel Haas Quartet record a disc. Critics swoon and reach for their superlatives box, usually hidden away on a top shelf to avoid overindulgence. Result? It ends up as Disc of the Month and a hot contender for a Gramophone Award. But swooning is not enough, and nor are superlatives… This is the kind of disc that makes record reviewing the best job in the world. --GramophoneIn their native repertoire they are well nigh incomparable. I have not heard an account of From My Life ...that prepares us so starkly, in its turbulent opening vivo appassionato, for its tragic outcome...

And it's hard to imagine a more compelling or harrowing take on the less frequently programmed D minor quartet. --The Sunday TimesAbout the ArtistPavel Haas Quartet was formed in 2002 and bears the name of Pavel Haas (1899-1944),a Czech composer of the first half of the 20th century. Since 2004 the Quartet has won many prestigious awards, including first place in the Prague Spring International Music Festival,BBC Music Magazine Chamber Choice, the MIDEM Classical Award, and three Gramophone awards.

Gramophone wrote that the Pavel Haas Quartet represents the best qualities of the Czech tradition warmth, sonorousness, individuality, intensity.
