"Admirers of Bowen will not have any pause for thought and certainly people who enjoy fine recitals of viola and piano playing will find much to give pleasure here."
(MusicWeb March 2012)

"This is another high quality release technically by Naxos. They have used the Nimbus studio at Wyastone. Engineer/Producer Michael Ponder has produced a very well balanced recording indeed..the Bridge Duo seem to me to be extremely fine and totally impressive on every level. Admirers of Bowen will not have any pause for thought and certainly people who enjoy fine recitals of viola and piano playing will find much to give pleasure here."
(MusicWeb March 2012)

The Bridge Duo's warmly received recital disc of English Music for Viola (8572579) is joined here by a programme of York Bowen's brilliant pieces for viola and piano. This new recording will provide fresh impetus to these relatively under-represented masterpieces.

Matthew Jones is violist of the Bridge Duo (with pianist Michael Hampton), and a professor at Trinity College of Music, Royal Welsh College and Charterhouse International Music Festival. He has given masterclasses around the world.
