• Veress developed a lean and muscular style, evident in the Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra. This is its first recording. • In the 1930s he worked as Bartók’s assistant in his work on Hungarian folksong, with results audible in the two early string quartets. • The Basel String Quartet, founded in 1996, an established part of Swiss cultural life, premiering and commissioning many new works.
