As the grain of each phrase differs, Kabat fine-tunes his interpretation and seems to rethink the purpose of each change
Since the days of the Czech Quartet, in which Josef Suk and Oskar Nedbal played, the Vlach Quartet are perhaps the first to have a similarly promising composer among their members.
His playing is marked by masterful musical craftsmanship placed at the service of true art. A deep humility and a desire to penetrate every detail of the score recall the legacy of the Vlach Quartet and revive the old musicians’ “truths” concerning perfect articulation, the shaping of dynamics and the building of phrases. The modesty and perspective with which Kabát creates are as captivating as the sound of his beautiful viola from the workshop of the violin maker Jaroslav Kohout.
