Ragazze QuartetAbout
"On Česko we go on a musical journey across Europe to the extraordinary land of Bohemia (popularly known as Česko, but officially means Czech), the homeland of two composers we have come to love so much. It doesn't seem to matter that we hardly know their country: the indescribable energy of the music, with its folk melodies and harmonies, revealing the essence of a nation steeped in a deep cultural history, takes us there instantly.
These composers are the much celebrated and revered Antonín Dvořák, along with the younger and lesser-known Erwin Schulhoff, whose life and career was tragically cut short by the Nazi regime. Both were masters in harnessing the old to the new, fusing a rich musical heritage with the influence of new worlds.
Their works take us through the full range of emotions, from the tranquil to the fiery, from the elated to the melancholic. A reflection of human life." - Ragazze Quartet
The Ragazze Quartet is a young Dutch/British string quartet, acclaimed for its musical enthusiasm, talent, versatility and dynamic presentation. Its versatility in particular is exceptional within the world of chamber music. The quartet collaborates with and performs alongside composers, musicians and artists working in a variety of disciplines and genres. While grounded firmly in the classical music tradition, the Ragazze Quartet is always in search of the ultimate cross-over, where the different disciplines are approached as equals, complementing and elevating one another.
