Bohuslav Martinů
The Martinů Quartet took part in eight international chamber music competitions and won awards at each event, most notably at the Prague Spring Festival and the competitions held in Evian, Florence, Munich (ARD) and Portsmouth. In 2001, the quartet was awarded the Bohuslav Martinů Price by the Bohuslav Martinů Foundation in recognition of the quartet's achievement promoting the chamber music of Bohuslav Martinů. In 2003, the quartet's recording of Sylvie Bodorová's "Terezín Ghetto Requiem" received the Music Web UK's "Recording of the month" award. In 2004, the quartet received the celebrated MIDEM award in Cannes for the best CD of the year in the category "solo and ensemble repertoire of the 20th century".
