Overview
Folk music’s direct simplicity and deep resonance in the collective unconscious inspired Pavel Fischer, former first violin of the Škampa Quartet, to write his ‘Mad Piper’ Quartet.
The work’s multi-hued emotional palette complements the national pride and yearning hope of Suk’s Meditation on an old Bohemian Chorale, written following the outbreak of the First World War.
