Framed by Edward Elgars 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 Deliuss haunting Serenade can be found alongside premiere recordings such as that of Frank Bridges attractive Con moto or Cyril Scotts contemplative Vesperale. Clare Howicks recital of British Women Composers can be heard on Naxos 8.572291, in very fine performances that evince total commitment. (MusicWeb International)
