Following on from his acclaimed Resonus debut of solo works by Bartók and Kurtág (Signs, Games & Messages - RES10167), virtuoso violinist Simon Smith returns to the label with an enticing programme of chamber works for strings by Zoltán Kodály and Ernő Dohnányi.
Joined by colleagues Clare Hayes (violin), Paul Silverthorne (viola) & Katherine Jenkinson ('cello), Smith presents three seminal chamber works from the first half of the twentieth century, performed with considerable élan by this exceptional collaboration.
