In the listing for those San Jose Chamber Music concerts, I noticed that
Vaclav Remes, the owlish first violinist, is no longer with the Prazak.
Remes's intonation could be imperfect, but he drove the group to perhaps
an even greater extent than the typical first violinist does.
Pavel Hula, from the Kocian Quartet, now has the chair. The quartet's
site says that Remes left in 2010 due to a medical condition in his left
hand. (I wonder if that was a factor in his intonation -- it was
pronounced in a concert of 2008 or 2009.)
Anyway -- sad. It'll be interesting to learn what they sound like now;
hard to predict.
