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 ❤️
Looking forward to this tomorrow! Crisis mode activated
Pianist @vijayiyer collaborates with @manc_collective and conductor @DuncanWardMusic for an artist retrospective, but not as you know it 🎹

Painted Light
@SolemQuartet
I 🩷🩷🩷 @delphianrecords! Every piece is a #DiscoveryOfTheWeek from the Finnis (inspired by Beethoven's Heiliger Dankgesang) to the Joni Mitchell arrangement that had me on the edge of tears.
Very touching to read this!!
A lovely arrangement for string quartet by William Newell (2nd violinist) of Lili Boulanger's Nocturne. Part of an excellent new album from @SolemQuartet.

Rounding off the musicians are @will_newell (violin/viola), @BassRemote (double bass), Laurence Ungless (double bass), Stephanie Dunne (vocals/yells) and @jasonalder (clarinet + lots of unnerving noises & extended techniques).
Had good fun as ever working with the brilliant @ArthurInColour on this, bringing his colourful, sinister, witty music to life!
'The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies' - tonight at 9pm (any minute now!) BBC1, whole series available on iPlayer. Soundtrack coming soon, hopefully Fri. Will post a bit on the music and all the wonderful people involved over the next few days. Hope you enjoy it!
