Dvorak and Smetana played by the Stradivari Records Quartet













I love the quartets of Dvorak and Smetana and, I was very pleased to pick up this old lp recently. It is a mono Stradivari Records release featuring the "From My Life" and "American" quartets of Smetana and Dvorak respectively. These masterworks are played by the Stradivari Records String Quartet, presumably a house creation of New York based musicians? In short, these are nice renditions, idiomatic and well played by the quartet. Really, these works are so well written, with beautiful melodies and phrases, that it is quite difficult to NOT present them well. Not to worry here!
