Bantock and Holbrooke: Viola and Violin Sonatas

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

EAN: 5 060263 500025

This disc features Joseph Holbrooke’s Second Violin Sonata (restored to its original version) and the Viola Sonata by Granville Bantock — played on Gustav Holst’s viola. Luxuriously romantic, these works also display striking individuality, juxtaposing warm lyricism, wry humour and exuberant energy.
