The four quartets heard here - two of them being performed for the first time - document Sohal's stylistic journey: the fireworks of Chiaroscuro II reflect the wild energy of European modernism, whereas the three later works are more considered in manner, incorporating occasional echoes of Indian music into their freewheeling counterpoint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Chiaroscuro II (String Quartet No. 1) \u003cbr\u003e1.2 String Quartet No. 3 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 String Quartet No. 4~I.
