The Ševčík Quartet will play Janáček's String Quartet No. 1 inspired by Leo Tolstoy's novella The Kreutzer Sonata.
The Prague Philharmonia’s Chamber Music Series will host the Ševčík Quartet for the very first time. Among other things, tonight they will play Leoš Janáček’s String Quartet No. 1, which he composed upon a suggestion of the Czech Quartet. It is a masterpiece by a composer who in his early seventies realized the importance of the string quartet as a musical form and brought his inspiration from Leo Tolstoy’s novella The Kreutzer Sonata into the work.
The concert tonight will also offer a piece full of folk rhythms by the Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodály and Quintet in G minor by Dmitri Shostakovich. The piano part will be played by the renowned pianist Marek Kozák, who in June 2021 became the laureate of the Concours Géza Anda in Zurich, one of the most prestigious and difficult international piano competitions.
