The versatility of Catalan songs has seen them much in use in arrangements for violin and piano, with Fritz Kreisler and Joseph Szigeti enthusiastic champions of their virtuoso potential and melodic charm. In addition to arrangements, this programme has plenty of original works for violin including Gaspar Cassadó's substantial Violin Sonata, Enrique Granados's fulsome Romanza and Federico Mompou's rhapsodic Altitud, with Jordi Cervelló's sparkling 'test piece' Prova di violino bringing us well into the 21st century.
