The indefatigable duo of Tasmin Little and Piers
Lane returns with a unique recorded programme at
the centre of which stand the violin sonatas of
Szymanowski and Franck.
Their joined expert musicianship reveals the
intimacy and magic of these passionate, lateromantic
works. The album encompasses the folklike
yet technically demanding Romance, Violin
Sonata, and Notturno e Tarantella by Szymanowski,
here more inspired by the German and French
romantic tradition than by his native Polish one, as
well as Franck's highly original Violin Sonata and
Faure's Romance.
It follows a much-lauded set of Schubert's complete
works for violin and piano (Album of the Week in
the Mail on Sunday), and also marks the eightieth
anniversary of Szymanowski's death. Tasmin Little
will continue her tribute to the composer with a
concerto album this autumn and with a series of
concerts of his music, which will take her around
the world.
