Recorded at Potton Hall, Suffolk, 14-16 February 2008

The vibrant young violinist Jacqueline Roche, accompanied by pianist Robert Stevenson, explores two notable additions to the repertoire of twentieth century British romantic violin music in their attractive Dutton Epoch recital. Walford Davies's big-boned four-movement Second Violin Sonata, published in 1900, and Holbrooke's attractive and lyrical Third Violin Sonata of 1926 are commandingly played. To complete the programme comes the charming Sonata of 1925 by Cyril Rootham, and with different artists (Justin Pearson and Sophia Rahman) the Arthur Benjamin Cello Sonatina of 1939.
