Album detail
Catalogue number: SU 4265-2
10th May 2019
The Bennewitz Quartet's new album containing string quartets by the Theresienstadt composers Ullmann, Krása, Schulhoff and Haas has been chosen as one of Presto Classical April Editor’s Choices.
„The Czech quartet demonstrate terrific rapport with one another and with the four composers who lived and worked in their homeland before perishing in Nazi concentration camps in the 1940s, throwing the music’s extremes of light and shade into stark relief – there’s bleak beauty in abundance, but the wit and audacity of the works (Haas’s whinnying horse, Schulhoff’s cod-tango and manic tarantella) are never short-changed either.“
