Having survived internment in the Terezín (Theresienstadt) ghetto as a Czech Jew, after the War Winterberg settled in Munich as a German citizen. This first recording of three of his four string quartets - their language downstream from Janácek and Schoenberg, with folk-music roots refracted through mid-century Czech modernism - underlines Winterberg's importance as a lone survivor of the group of young Czech composers whose infinite promise was extinguished in the Holocaust.
