The Calidore Quartet play Dvorak's 'American' Quartet

Chamber music from Radio 3's New Generation Artists: the Calidore Quartet play Dvorak's 'American' String Quartet, written around the same time as his 'New World' Symphony.

The Calidore Quartet plays Dvorak's American Quartet.

The US-based Calidore Quartet, former members of Radio 3's prestigious young artists' programme, play the quartet that Dvorak wrote in 1893 whilst holidaying in Spillville, Iowa. And before that they play a work written especially for them by Caroline Shaw, the youngest recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Music.
