Part of Czech Mates - Czech chamber music with Dante Quartet
Dante Quartet
Walter van Dyk narrator
Glazunov Prelude and Fugue in D minor
Janáček String Quartet No. 1 Kreutzer Sonata
with readings from Leo Tolstoy's story, The Kreutzer Sonata
Janáček was fascinated by all things Russian and based his first quartet, written when he was 69, on Tolstoy's Kreutzer Sonata; a passionate tale of love, adultery and murder, with Beethoven's great Kreutzer sonata at the heart of the story.
"The Dantes capture the ecstatic intensity of Janacek's vision with an equally moving vulnerability." Harry Eyres, Last Word
"These [interpretations of Janacek's quartets] by the superb Dante Quartet, are suitably impassioned [with] greater intensity and tenderness [and] more alive to the lyricism that coexists with Janacek's harshest inventions." David Cairns, The Sunday Times
