Following their debut, their second album features works by Haas—the composer after whom the ensemble is named—and Janáček’s String Quartet No. 1.\nThese two pieces by Haas, who met his end at Auschwitz, were composed in 1920 when he was still a student at the Brno Conservatory. Written in the style of a fantasia, it is characterized by a single sonata movement lasting approximately 13 minutes. The Third Sonata, with its three-movement finale structured as a theme and variations, was written in 1938, at the peak of Haas’s creative career. Its tragic music reflects the atmosphere of the times, marked by the rapidly rising threat of the Nazis.\nAnd now, Janáček’s *Kreutzer Sonata*, which serves as the concluding piece to this set of two works. This masterpiece, written in a single burst over just nine days, is a perfect fit for this ensemble—overflowing with youthful passion—thanks to its content steeped in a thick, intense eroticism.
