Notes
Volume 2 of British Violin Sonatas, recorded at Potton Hall with Tasmin Little and Piers Lane, has finally arrived!
The atmosphere established by this original collection is best described by the violinist herself: ‘Now that the disc is complete, the shape of it feels very right and I love the combination of these works – opening with exuberance, and continuing with drama, wistful lines, folk elements, and romance. I always take into account the key structure when planning a disc of varied works, and the way that I have planned this disc gives me one of my favourite moments: the ‘Pastorale’ by Vaughan Williams dies away in the key of E minor, after which our disc segues seamlessly into the E minor introduction to William Lloyd Webber’s piece, which in its turn blossoms into E major as the violin line makes its entrance.

Daniel Jaffé – BBC Music magazine (Brief Notes section) – October 2016
“...Throughout, Tasmin Little and Piers Lane are on top form proving themselves once again excellent advocates of this wonderful music. They are captured in a pleasing and sympathetic acoustic. This, with the informative booklet notes, makes this new recording a real winner. I hope that this new series from Chandos continues to go from strength to strength and that Ireland’s Second Sonata will feature on a future release.”
Stuart Sillitoe MusicWeb-International.com 25 May 2016
“... These are splendid, sensitive, insightful interpretations by two great advocates of British music. I hope Vol. 3 is forthcoming!”
Jeremy Dibble Gramophone magazine June 2016
