Title: Gurney (and Elgar) Violin Sonatas
Post by: Lionel Harrsion on Monday 13 August 2012, 20:52
I've just had an email from Em Marshall (guiding light of the English Music Festival) which announces that they are inviting music lovers to subscribe to their eleventh EM Records disc, of Violin Sonatas by Gurney & Elgar.  The description continues, "The 2011 Festival featured the World Première performance of an exciting new chamber work: the Sonata in E-flat major for Violin and Piano by Ivor Gurney. Dating from 1919, this work has shattering emotional intensity and heart-rending expressiveness..."  The link is http://www.englishmusicfestival.org.uk/emrecords/subscribe.html (http://www.englishmusicfestival.org.uk/emrecords/subscribe.html) It sounds to me a most worthwhile enterprise.
