About
The program features lush and varied sonatas by fairly obscure composers, including Russian-born Paul Juon – who has been called the "Russian Brahms". On that subject, the often "abrasive" and hard-to-please Brahms held the music of Austrian notable Robert Fuchs in very high regard. There’s also striking music from Englishman Ernest Walker – plus a touching Romance by Benjamin Dale, another British composer.
Martin brings these luscious and fascinating works to vibrant life, with deft and sensitive collaboration from pianist Miko Kominami. While these works will be of particular interest to viola players and fans, the sterling qualities of the music and performances alike make this recording a must-hear experience for mainstream aficionados of romantic-era chamber music – especially those who thought they knew all of the good stuff!
“It is my hope that this music will be of interest to violists and non-violists alike, as each of these pieces deserves a place in our standard repertory.” - Spencer Martin
