DVOŘÁK FOR STRINGS, Ensemble 360

The celebrated Quartet No.11 features the thrilling, turbulent writing that has placed Dvořák at the heart of the chamber music repertoire.

Dvořák’s exceptional and unusually scored String Quintet No.2 is operatic in scope and richly textured, earning the dedication ‘For my country’ from the Czech composer, who yearned to create a distinctly bohemian musical language in a time of turmoil across eastern Europe. His celebrated Quartet No.11 features the thrilling, turbulent writing that has placed him at the heart of the chamber music repertoire.
