Framed by Edward Elgar's deeply personal Violin Sonata and the bravura fireworks of his Mazurka, this programme is a fascinating look at British music for violin and piano at the turn of the last century. Popular pieces such as Delius's haunting Serenade can be found alongside premiere recordings such as that of Frank Bridge's attractive Con moto or Cyril Scott's contemplative Vesperale. Clare Howick's recital of British Women Composers can be heard on Naxos 8572291, 'in very fine performances that evince total commitment' (MusicWeb International).
