The Skampa Quartet perform an all-Czech programme in today's live Wigmore Hall recital: Josef Suk's melodious Meditation on an Old Czech Hymn 'St Wenceslas' was written following the outbreak of the First World War. To end, the quartet is joined by viola player Krzysztof Chorzelski for Dvorak's sunny String Quintet in E flat major, a work written just after his famous "American" Quartet while Dvorak was still in Iowa. The middle work of the concert was written by the quartet's former first violin, Pavel Fischer; his Third String Quartet, 'Mad Piper', continuing the concert's theme, is influenced by folk music.
