Harry Somers: Strings

Somers Strings is the fourth in a special series of Centrediscs CDs entitled A Window on Somers celebrating and devoted to the music of one of Canada’s foremost composers. This recording features Somers’ solo and chamber violin compositions, which are among the most personal and beautifully written of his works.

“They are engaging works of great integrity, more overtly feeling than much of the composer’s work.”
– Richard Todd, Opus Pocus
