EMR CD011 features the World Première recording of the passionate Sonata for Violin and Piano in E‑flat by Ivor Gurney, a composer celebrated primarily for his song settings, yet who is revealed here as a skilled author of chamber music. This emotionally intense and compelling piece is complemented by the much-loved Violin Sonata by Edward Elgar, and Lionel Sainsbury’s virtuosic Soliloquy for solo violin.
