Pavel Haas Quartet completed its recordings of the Janáček and Haas quartets, bringing practically unknown works by this noteworthy; 20th century composer Pavel Haas to the attention of music lovers today. Janáček's student Pavel Haas (1899-1944) wrote his first string quartet in 1920 and his third quartet in 1938 at the peak of his creative life. The piece is marked by the drama and tragedy of the era's rapidly burgeoning Nazi movement, whose victim he became in 1941.
