[T]heir account of Beethoven’s 3rd Razumovsky quartet, from the miniscule pianissimo at the start to the thrilling, almost orgiastic Russian dance at the end, was breathtaking.  THE INDEPENDENT, LONDON

Named as one of the 10 Brightest New Stars in 2007 by BBC Music Magazine, the Pavel Haas Quartet came to international prominence when it won the 2005 Premio Paolo Borciani competition. Concerts in major venues and festivals around the world and an acclaimed debut recording have cemented the Quartet’s reputation as one of the most exciting young quartets performing today. The program features a signature work by the group’s namesake and his teacher Janácek’s fi rst quartet, inspired by his unhealthy passion for a younger woman. Beethoven’s masterly third ‘Razumovsky’ Quartet closes the program.
