Solem Quartet

It's exactly 100 years today since the premiere of this absolute gem of a piece, Leoš Janáček's 'Kreutzer Sonata' 🎼 This is one of our fave moments from the 2nd movement at our concert at @wigmore_hall last year ❤️

The title track from “Veneer” is out today! I’ve been very lucky to have a long working relationship with Ed Finnis whose music I’ve played for many years all over the world, so I’m particularly excited to have recorded this very special work. tinyurl.com/7wfd5mx9 💿
