Intimate Letters

The Castalian String Quartet, Hans Keller String Quartet in Residence at the University of Oxford, are one of today’s most exciting quartets, hailed for performances that are ‘full of poetry, joy and sorrow, realised to such perfection’ (The Observer). Here they perform Janáček’s second string quartet, ‘Intimate Letters’, a musical realisation of the hundreds of passionate letters the composer exchanged with his friend and muse Kamila Stösslová. Also included are short works by Kurtág, Dvořák and Schumann.
