Bennewitz Quartet with Arsentiy Kharitonov, Piano

Winners of the 2019 Classic Prague Award for Best Chamber Music Performance of the Year, this Czech ensemble makes its CMH debut with two powerful offerings: the String Quartet #3 by Viktor Ullman, whose courageous music honors the tradedy of the Holocaust; and the Dvořák Piano Quintet No. 2 with Russian pianist Arsentiy Kharitonov, whose playing reveals “genuine poetry” (Fanfare Magazine).
