THE PAVEL HAAS QUARTET NOTCH UP THEIR THIRD GRAMOPHONE AWARD!

 

Britain’s Gramophone Awards, dubbed the “classical music Oscars”, have for 38 years been bestowed by Gramophone magazine critics. The monthly, published since 1923, contains CD reviews, interviews, artist portraits, as well as articles about the latest trends in the development of audiovisual technology. From among hundreds of recordings released between 1 June and 31 May, the jury shortlists the best six for each of the categories and at the end of August announces the award-winners – see here: www.gramophone.co.uk/awards/2014/chamber

 

The Pavel Haas Quartet have won this year’s Gramophone Award in the Chamber category for their Supraphon album featuring Franz Schubert’s String Quintet and String Quartet No. 14, “Death and the Maiden”. “It is a great honour for us! We are thrilled that our interpretation of Schubert has captivated world-renowned specialists amid fierce competition from a host of other new recordings. After all, these are major chamber opuses that have been recorded more than a thousand times...,” says Pavel Haas Quartet cellist Peter Jarůšek.
