Kevin Sutton inquired about the Panocha String Quartet. By name, they are: Jiri Panocha - 1st violin, Pavel Zejfart - 2nd violin, Miroslav Sehnoutka - viola, Jaroslav Kulhan - cello Of the several recordings of Smetana's first string quartet that I have heard, their's is my runaway favorite (there may be some imprinting at work there). This famous quartet is paired with the less well known quartet no. 2 on a Supraphon recording: http://www.musicabona.com/catalog1/SU3450-2.html). Their quartet was formed in an exhilarating year of Czech history: 1968. Larry
