A great concern for the Austrian Adamas String Quartet has always been the treatment of composers whose works were termed "degenerate" and banned during the Nazi regime or who themselves became victims of the barbaric extermination machinery. On their second album, the critically acclaimed ensemble devotes itself to the string quartet by the Dzech composer Hans Krasa, a work showing an astounding compositional maturity.
