    Overview

    Jirí Gemrot, Prague-based Director in Chief of Czech Radio, composed his Quintet for the Pavel Haas Quartet and Colin Currie in 2014.

    They place the score’s individual sounds and lyrical melodies at the heart of a programme of works by Czech composers, complete with the white-hot creative energy of Janáček’s ‘Kreutzer Sonata’ and Pavel Haas’s innovative and atmospheric ‘From the Monkey Mountains’.
