Formed in 1972, the Prazak Quartet quickly secured top prizes from the Evian Competition and the Prague International Competition. They perform regularly on four continents, and their recordings have garnered international awards including the Grand Prix International du Disque and the Diapason d'Or. Their technical mastery and expressive lyricism have earned them international acclaim from the critics:
" . . . a hot-blooded, richly textured reading" (The New York Times) " . . . the kind of performance that grabbed you by the collar and refused to behave" (The Los Angeles Times) " . . . definitive . . . no other single word more aptly describes the achievement by this superb foursome." (The Chicago Tribune).
