“Fine performances of some of Rawsthorne's finest yet most neglected chamber music. Alan Rawsthorne's Theme and Variations for two violins not only ranks as one of his masterpieces, but can also be considered as amongst the finest string writing for violin duo this century… this new and exceptionally fine account by Peter Sheppard Skærved and Christine Sohn [is] all the more welcome. Another Rawsthorne work that deserves much wider recognition is the Violin Sonata of1958. A must for all admirers of Rawsthorne's music.” - Michael Stewart (Gramophone - Award Review)

“playing of passionate intensity in the finest performance of the [Theme and Variations] that I've yet heard” - Tempo “In sum, with fine performances and a good recording, this release deserves to be heard by more than just devotees of the violin. It shows the toughness and sheer musicality of two fine British composers writing at full stretch.” - Piers Burton-Page (International Record Review)
