The Belfast-born composer Howard Ferguson has enjoyed an enviable reputation amongst those who really know their British music of the 20th century: his music is not great in output, but is distinguished at all times by a fastidious craftsmanship and an inspired abundance of melody. Dame Myra Hess recorded his Piano Sonata and Bagatelles, and Denis Brain his Octet - all on 78rpm discs - so this outstanding composer has not been without distinguished advocates. His Second Violin Sonata of 1948 is in three cogent movements.
The First Violin Sonata by Eugène Goossens is an outstanding work, the neglect of which - as with all of this supremely-gifted composer’s music - is quite inexplicable. The slow movement was recorded on a 78rpm disc by Andre Mangeot and the composer himself over 70 years ago - this new recording marks the first time this work has appeared complete in the British record catalogues!
The sensational success of the Second Violin Sonata by John Ireland in 1917 - it was performed nine times in the following season - may well have inspired Goossens to write his Sonata. It is surely true to say that no other English chamber work of the 20th century was ever received with greater enthusiasm than this. It remains one of Ireland’s greatest masterpieces, and should be known by all lovers of English music. |

This album is a brand-new collection of some of the most brilliant and best-loved of all favourite pieces for violin and piano, known and loved to millions of music-lovers the world over.
It offers the intelligent collector a superb and unique album which also contains some popular pieces which are but rarely recorded - pieces which every violinist will have played at some time during their career, but which do not always find their way onto compact disc.
This programme is distinguished by the most brilliant and sensitive playing by one of the leading European violinists of the day, who is sympathetically accompanied by one of Switzerland’s most gifted composers, conductors and pianists.
The recording, made in England in 1996, is state-of-the-art, and the entire collection is bound to be one of the most popular albums Guild has released in the past few years. |

Here is a rare coupling - the two great Romantic Cello Sonatas from the late 19th-century era of high-romanticism, joined on one CD, together with other music for cello and piano by Grieg and Rachmaninov.
The performances, by this highly-acclaimed young duo, are of exceptional passion and refinement, and the quality of the recording is one of the best Guild has achieved in recent years - which is saying a lot.
These two Sonatas - both of which were played in concert by Pablo Casals with their respective composers - have, in recent years, become to be recognised as high-points in the cello repertoire and have enjoyed a growing and enthusiastic audience for their inspired qualities.
They make a superb coupling, and in addition, we include some rare shorter music for cello and piano by both composers. |
