  • Description

    The German-Bohemian composer Wenzel Heinrich Veit (1806–64) – Václav Jind?ich Veit in Czech–is one of music’s most unjustly forgotten figures. As these first recordings of his four string quartets reveal, he is not only the link between the Bohemian composers of the end of the Classical period and the wave of Czech Romanticism thatbegan with Smetana – he is also an outstanding composer in his own right. His four quartets trace the stylistic evolution of his time: they emerge from a debt to Haydn and Beethoven and embrace Mendelssohn and Schumann on their way to pre-echoes of Dvo?ák.
