The Wihan Quartet has held its position of eminence among the most distinguished Czech chamber groups for nearly 40 years. This remarkable consistency, in part a result of minimal personnel changes, is also down to the Wihan’s ability to revitalise its interpretative approach. We are in for a treat!
