How Deep Is Your Love - Prague Cello Quartet

It was film score composer Petr Wajsar who arranged this beautiful version of the best-selling Bee Gees single.

The quartet is made up of Jan Zvěřina, Petr Špaček, Ivan Vokáč and Jan Zemen, who showcase adaptations of well-known compositions to help bring down the boundaries of traditional classical music.

They are currently touring the Czech Republic – you can find tickets for upcoming shows here. Or, rent the group’s concert on Vimeo if you’re happier watching from home.
