Pavel Haas Quartet: String Quartets G Major Op. 106 & F Major Op. 96 "American" version on vinyl 2LP in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Czech Republic in publishing company Supraphon on 9. November 2018.

Höchste Quartettkunst Die von der Fachpresse mehrfach ausgezeichnete Aufnahme der Streichquartette opp. 96 & 106 von Antonín Dvořák mit dem Pavel Haas Quartet (u. a. erhielt die Einspielung den Gramophone Award in den Kategorien "Kammermusik" und "Aufnahme des Jahres" sowie "Aufnahme des Monats" beim BBC Music Magazine) ist eines der absoluten Highlights im SUPRAPHON-Katalog, aber auch in der gesamten Dvořák-Diskografie! Das sollte als Grund ausreichen, diese wunderbare Produktion acht Jahre nach ihrer Erstveröffentlichung zusätzlich in einer audiophilen Vinyl-Ausgabe anzubieten. Ein Fest der Quartettkunst auf allerhöchstem Niveau, das in keiner LP-Sammlung fehlen darf! Vltava, s. r. o: I am satisfied. It went fast... Antonín Dvořák made a note at the end of the sketch for his String Quartet Op. 96. The work, one of the most beautiful quartet works in the history of music, was written in America hard on the heels of the "New World" symphony. I wanted to write something very melodic and simple for once, and I always had Papa Haydn in my sights. The American critics showered it with praise: 'Why didn't Dvořák come here sooner if he could write such great music in America?' "No," I replied. The "American" Quartet and, perhaps even more so, the following Quartet, Op. 106, the first work Dvořák composed after his return from America, are matters of the heart for the young Pavel Haas Quartet. Following on from previous, highly acclaimed recordings of the complete quartet works of Janáček, Haas and Prokofiev (Classic FM Gramophone Award, BBC Music Magazine Award, MIDEM Cannes Classical Award, etc.), the ensemble shows its outstanding qualities in the performance of Dvořák's first-rate works as well: the balance between precision and spontaneity, the remarkable interplay and "solo" potential of all the musicians. Most likely Dvořák would have noted the words I am satisfied under this new recording. Listeners definitely have something to look forward to. Dvořák's "American" Quartet and Op. 106 - a heartfelt affair for the Pavel Haas Quartet
