The Estonian violinist Mihkel Kerem (born in Tallinn in 1981) is familiar as a performer in Britain as well as at home; he is also a prolific composer, with over one hundred works to his credit, three symphonies among them. Hardly surprisingly, he has written for his own instrument, including a concerto and these four sonatas – the First an astonishing achievement for a thirteen-year-old and the Second hardly less surprising from a fifteen-year-old composer. Kerem’s style is powerful and direct, reminiscent of Prokofiev in its steely strength and motoric energy.

"... The vitality of that music, the urgency of the performances, and the lively prescence of the recorded sound combine to earn this release of premieres an urgent recommendation."

Robert Maxham - Fanfare - March/April 2013
