This CD is a remastering of the original world-premiere release of these pieces in 1987; James Greening-Valenzuela consulted with Ernst Bacon on the interpretation of the Sonata.
Bio / Background
Review of this CD:
Although perhaps best known for his (Bacon) songs, this Violin Sonata is a thoroughly confident affair, given here in a most committed performance by Greening-Valenzuela and Walker. The violinist has an expressive, but not distracting, vibrato and a strong sense of line that suits this music perfectly. In addition, Greening-Valenzuela's sweet top register is well-captured in the first movement.
The Chaconne (Diamond) is quite a remarkable work... Greening-Valenzuela suavely characterises the various variations.
