The Prazak Quartet are a wonderful ensemble, recording some of the best string quartet performances I own. This is indeed one such performance. Their phrasing and rhythms, back then, were a joy to listen to.

For those who inquired about individual players, if I am not mistaken: 1) Player first seen at 00:07 is violist Josef Kluson. 2) Player first seen at 00:15 is 1st violinist Vaclav Remes (replaced in 2011 by Pavel Hula). 3) The first player seen at 00:23 is (David Bowie lookalike) cellist Michal Kanka. 4) The first player seen at 00:55 is 2nd violinist Vlastimil Holek.

Well, they´re Czech like Antonín Dvořák... In my experience, most Czech composers can be interpreted excellently by anyone in the world, but Dvořák has something in him that only Czechs can interpret well. And perhaps the neighbouring nations, Austrians do Dvořák very well, too. That´s saying nothing against other musicians, though. Bernstein´s interpretation of the 9th symphony is absolutely fascinating. It just doesn´t have that tiny little Czech je ne sais quoi.

I first heard this quartet in 1979 or 1980 at a Dvorak festival in Spillville, Iowa, the Czech town the composer spent his summers in when he was in the U.S. I loved it then, but this performance is almost heartbreakingly beautiful. I keep playing it over and over again.

Hi, if you google Prazak Quartet you get on their website and as you’ll see, the group has changed. But the violist is still part of it. The cellist plays in many different quartets and ansambles, i think you’ll find it if you google their names. :))

Me too! Only for me, it´s the opposite of exotic - I only heard it when I was 23 but it felt like I´d known it all my life. (I´m Czech and as a student, I shared a flat with Dvořák´s great-great-niece 🙂 ) I know there are some other influences in this quartet but to me, it´s quintessentially Czech. I see Czech landscapes when I listen to it 🙂 the Czech hills, the small crucifixes at crossroads, the small houses with red roofs, the quiet fishing ponds, the twittering sparrows...

There is something curious about the various published parts for this piece. If you listen at 21:18 to 21:20, all four instruments play the same rhythm: "8th note, 8th rest, 8th rest, 8th note" in the 2/4 time signature for two measures. This is how the full score shows the music, so The Prazak Quartet plays that section "correctly." But there must be a set of parts (from a different publisher, I suppose) where the viola plays, on the low "f" the rhythm "8th note, 8th rest, 8th note, 8th rest" which is incorrect according to the score. There are several quartets that play the mistake, so it must be a transcription error in the viola part rather than a true mistake on the part of the players. Listen to the Emerson quartet and the Crimson String Quartet play this movement, and they both play the "mistake." And there are several others. But most quartets play the part correctly, as does the Prazak here. In the score, the measures in question are 4 and 3 measures prior to rehearsal number 8 in the fourth movement. I just wonder which publisher has the correct part and which publisher has the incorrect transcription.
