[Machine Translation] Based in Lugano, Switzerland, the "Energie Nove Quartet" is known for its outstanding performances of string quartets by Prokofiev and Janacek. The ensemble's name "Energie Nove" is the name of a magazine published in Turin in 1918, which was known for its sharp reviews of Italian politics and culture of the time, and the ensemble always delivers energetic performances that live up to its name. The work featured in this album is by Smetana. The ensemble showed its full range of skills in a program that included the composer's autobiographical "From My Life" and the "String Quartet No. 2," known for its intense emotional expression, as well as two dances from "The Sold Bride.
