The idea of an album featuring works written specially to the Lutoslawski Quartet is strictly connected with the celebrations of the European Capital of Culture Wroclaw 2016. The release includes a CD album and a DVD.   

All the featured works were commissioned, composed and had their premieres in 2016, hence the name of the album: 2016.

2017 sees the 10th anniversary of the Lutoslawski Quartet. This release is a kind of summary of the decade of the Wroclaw-based quartet’s activities. Over the 10 year, the quartet has presented mainly Polish chamber music on almost every continent.
