About this concert
Wigmore Hall regulars the Skampa Quartet from the Czech Republic fly their national flag by performing one of Dvorák’s late masterworks, which is imbued with a natural love of his native music allied to an innate understanding of the genre. Shostakovich’s Third Quartet has proved to be one of his enduring masterpieces and lovers of Schubert will still regret that he failed to finish his C minor Quartet of which the first movement is a tantalising taster.
