Synopsis

Amazon.com

The Hawthorne String Quartet, members of the Boston Symphony, has made a specialty of reviving music by Holocaust composers. This disc, in London's Degenerate Music series (music by composers suppressed, rejected, or killed by the Nazis) offers two string quartets by Haas, a highly talented student of Leos Janá ek, whose music Haas's resembles noticeably. Both works are fascinating. The String Quartet by Krása is earlier (1921) and less adventurous than Haas's, but it's still an attractive piece and fills out a fascinating collection. --Leslie Gerber

CD Reviews

Musicological Morbidity...

Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 08/04/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

".

The music contained in this disc is coloured by the morbid history of circumstances: the Czechs Haas and Krása were both born in 1899, and both murdered at Auschwitz in Oct. 1944. Imagine the horror.

Hass had been a student of Janácek; Krása, Zemlinsky--(which makes him a 3rd generation New Viennese Schooler).

The Quartets themselves are from the 1920s and feature ironic, neoclassical, and jazz elements; colourful instrumentation (viz., extensive glissandi, pizzicati, col-legno, etc.) and grotesqueries.

I prefer Krása's work overall: see also, Hans Krása: Brundibár ; Krása: Brundibár ; Krasa - Verlobung im Traum / Lascarro · J. Henschel · Hellekant · Bartosz · Wörle · Dohmen · M. Kraus · Zagrosek ~ Symphonie / Ashkenazy ; Czech "Degenerate Music" Krasa: Chamber Music (Complete) ; Haas Krasa Schulhoff:Songs .
