Urioste/Poster - Edvard Grieg: To the Spring

Grieg returned to the violin sonata more than any other form, writing three Violin Sonatas that chart the trajectory of his style, as the composer himself said: �the first na�ve, rich in ideas, the second national and the third with a wider horizon�. Violinist Elena Urioste�and pianist Tom Poster, both former BBC New Generations Artists, feel a special connection with Grieg�s Violin Sonatas, presented on this release alongside the artists� own arrangements of two exquisite Grieg miniatures: To the Spring and Last Spring. Elena Urioste has performed with the major BBC orchestras, as well as a who�s who of ensembles from the New York Philharmonic to the Chineke! Orchestra. Tom Poster has performed over 40 concertos with some of the world�s most prestigious orchestras and conductors, frequently performs at the BBC Proms and Wigmore Hall, and features regularly on BBC radio and television.
