Rupert Marshall Luck & Martin Rickard - Holbrooke, Bantock: Viola and Violin Sonatas

EM Records' third disc features Joseph Holbrooke's Second Violin Sonata (restored to its original version) and the Viola Sonata by Granville Bantock � played on Gustav Holst's viola. Luxuriously romantic, these works also display striking individuality, juxtaposing warm lyricism, wry humour and exuberant energy. They are performed by regular EMF artists Rupert Marshall-Luck and Matthew Rickard, whose recording of Violin Sonatas by Bliss, Walford Davies and York Bowen formed EM Records' first release and which has been greeted with glowing critical acclaim.
