The ‘sensitive Sacconis bear solemn witness to [Smetana’s] sorrowful journey into silence,’ observed the Guardian in its review of the group's recording of the Czech composer’s First String Quartet, a deeply affecting self-portrait of his journey from the joys of youth to the distress and pain of the onset of deafness. The Sacconi Quartet’s 25th anniversary celebration begins with the last of Mozart’s ‘Haydn’ Quartets, with its daring slow introduction and vast inventive range.
