About
Using Thomas Ades’ The Four Quarters as a framework – and featuring several arrangements by the ensemble – the Solem Quartet’s long-awaited debut album explores composers’ depictions of night and day and all the moments in between; from the melodious dawn chorus of Cassandra Miller’s Warblework, via Bartok’s earthly and touching portrayal of An Evening in the Village to Kate Bush’s ethereal And Dream Of Sheep.

This terrific, imaginative debut recording from the young British quartet is built around the eponymous 2011 work by Thomas Adès, which is interleaved with the group's own arrangements of works by Gurney, Florence Price, Bartók and others as well as individual movements of Cassandra Miller's birdsong-inspired Warblework.
