Elgar/Adès/Walton: Music for Violin & Piano

Michael Foyle and Iain Burnside trace connections through three strikingly individual voices across more than a century, finding lyrical intensity, harmonic ambiguity and an instinct for drama that ranges from inward reflection to operatic confrontation. Elgar’s Violin Sonata – one of his late masterpieces – emerges here not as nostalgic farewell but as music of restless energy, shadowed by war, loss and private grief. Walton’s expansive, bittersweet Sonata combines fierce virtuosity with moments of disarming tenderness, while Thomas Adès’s Suite from The Tempest reimagines his opera in music of glittering theatricality, the violin writing encompassing the earthy growl of Caliban and Ariel’s airborne brilliance. Alongside these large-scale works, Elgar’s Chanson de Nuit and Chanson de Matin offer moments of luminous repose.
