Rupert Marshall-Luck and Matthew Rickard - Works for Violin and Piano: Gurney, Sainsbury, Elgar

This album features the World Premi�re recording of the passionate Sonata for Violin and Piano in E-flat by Ivor Gurney, a composer celebrated primarily for his song settings, yet who is revealed here as an incredibly skilled author of chamber music. This emotionally intense and compelling piece is complemented by the much-loved Violin Sonata by Edward Elgar, and Lionel Sainsbury's virtuosic 'Soliloquy' for solo violin. Recorded in the outstanding acoustic of Wyastone Concert Hall in Monmouthshire, EMR CD011 welcomes back two critically acclaimed artists: the violinist Rupert Marshall-Luck and the pianist Matthew Rickard.
