Bryce Dessner’s brand new album, Solos, is out now on Sony Classical. "Writing a solo piece for me is always a great challenge and joy, as you have all the personality and talent of the player plus the physicality and resonance of the solo instrument," says Dessner.
The album is a collection of unaccompanied instrumental works written by Dessner over the past few years from both his classical and scoring catalogue. Solos showcases not only Dessner’s compositional flair but also the immense talent of his frequent collaborators and friends. Featured soloists include cellist Anastasia Kobekina; violinist Pekka Kuusisto; pianist Katia Labèque; harpist Lavinia Meijer; violist Nadia Sirota; percussionist Colin Currie and Dessner himself on acoustic guitar.
