The String Quartets
Antonín Dvořák wrote fourteen string quartets across a forty-year career, and they rank among the greatest chamber works ever composed. The Prague String Quartet, one of the 20th century's most respected ensembles, recorded the complete cycle in the late 1990s for Deutsche Grammophon. Their reading balances Dvořák's Romantic lyricism with formal rigor—each quartet reveals new melodic richness. From the youthful exuberance of Op. 1 to the profound introspection of the American Quartet, this nine-disc set captures a master's full arc. Dvořák's gift for songlike themes and mastery of counterpoint come together in music that moves the heart while delighting the ear. Essential listening for chamber music lovers.
