The Leonkoro Quartet plays Janacek's String Quartet No 1 'Kreutzer Sonata' and Alexander Gadjiev plays Liszt's powerful transcription of a movement from Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.

The multi-award-winning Leonkoro Quartet performed Janacek's First Quartet at Wigmore Hall earlier this year. It was inspired by Leo Tolstoy's novella The Kreutzer Sonata, which had itself been inspired by Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 9, known as the "Kreutzer" after its dedicatee, Rodolphe Kreutzer. As Janacek wrote: In this work I was imagining a poor woman, tormented and run down, just like the one the Russian writer Tolstoy describes in his Kreutzer Sonata."
