DISCOGRAPHY

EM RECORDS: EMR CD001

The Monk and the Warrior

Rupert Marshall-Luck (vn); Matthew Rickard (pf.)

EAN: 5 060263 500001

This disc — EM Records’ first release — contains two World Première recordings together with an unjustly-neglected work. Before their performances at the 2010 English Music Festival by Rupert Marshall-Luck and Matthew Rickard, the Violin Sonatas by Arthur Bliss and Henry Walford Davies had languished in manuscript form for over one hundred years. They are presented on this recording alongside the opulent and darkly turbulent Violin Sonata by York Bowen.
