Henrik Dam Thomsen makes his debut on the Chandos label with this recording.

The music represents some of the finest of its genre, with Britten's haunting works perfectly contrasting with Kodály's masterpiece.

Henrik Dam Thomsen is one of Denmark's top string players. Since his sensational debut in Copenhagen in autumn 1998, he has appeared as soloist with the leading Danish symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles, and given many recitals. He is principal cellist of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and is the founder of the Sartory Quartet, an ensemble which is rapidly establishing its position as one of the best in Denmark.
