| |  | Haas & Janácek - String Quartets
“the PHQ’s streamlined but full-blooded playing is more than welcome, and if they are lining up the first Janácek and the first and third Haas for a follow-up CD,I will be at the front of the queue to hear it” Gramophone Magazine “Haas was destined for Auschwitz (where he was killed in 1944) and although it would be fanciful to read prophecy into the pages of this marvellous and varied work, [the 3rd String Quartet] the candour and emotional unrest that it expresses have inevitable associations. In the hands of the Pavel Haas Quartet Janácek's own powerfully emotive First Quartet positively glows... This is a superb release...” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008 BBC Music Magazine

Anne-Sofie von Otter (mezzo-soprano), Bengt Forsberg (piano), Christian Gerhaher (baritone) & Gerold Huber (piano) On this CD, von Otter has chosen a project with a serious and historically significant background. She interprets pieces written in the Theresienstadt concentration camp by a group of Jewish composers who were imprisoned there and yet managed to foster a rich cultural life even under the most extreme conditions. Most composers were later murdered in Auschwitz. “Anne Sofie von Otter's vivid and spontaneous performances make a stirring impact” BBC Music Magazine, October 2007 CD Review

"Not only is the performance beyond reproach on technical grounds, but also, more importantly, it conveys with almost graphic immediacy the searing passion the 74-year-old composer felt for Kamila Stosslova. The performers demonstrate a similarly convincing capacity to bring to life in the remarkable Second Quartet by the Janacek pupil Pavel Haas" BBC Music Magazine BBC Music Magazine
