CHRISTMAS WITH TWO VIOLAS

"Prague Viola Duo is comprised of excellent players. They are both successful at concerts and competitions. It is my pleasure to say that the duo is a very promising ensemble with a high degree of musicality. Tomáš and Jakub are also very intelligent and hardworking people and I wish them only the best". 

     Karel Doležal (1948-2018, violist, head of string studies at the Prague Conservatory, member of the Czech Philharmonic Chamber Society)

 

"...in Leclair´s Sonata they showed such a beautiful and joyful playing with perfect technique. I was impressed by their ornamentation and excellent balance. It was evident that they play together for a long time..."

     Jan Pěruška (violist, member of the Stamic Quartet, professor at the Academy of Music Prague)

     Jiří Laburda (composer, Professor emeritus at Charles University)
