Formed in Prague in 1985, the ensemble named after a distinguished Czech cellist was formerly in residence at London’s Trinity Laban. ‘These are richly rewarding readings of Beethoven’s late quartets’, wrote The Sunday Times of a disc including Op. 135. ‘The group makes a meaty, full sound, and their vision of each work carries with it the insight of long, deep mutual experience … The slow movements are at the heart of their performances.’
