About
This is Volume 2 in our series of British works for cello and piano, performed by the exclusive Chandos artist Paul Watkins, with his brother Huw Watkins on the piano. Acclaimed for his inspirational performances and eloquent musicianship, Paul Watkins enjoys a distinguished career as both a cellist and conductor.
York Bowen was very nearly forgotten after his death in 1961, but his music, traditional in form, romantic in expression and confidently idiomatic, has recently undergone a revival. In the Cello Sonata recorded here, he displays his particular skill in writing finales, as he drives the work to a flamboyant conclusion.
Arnold Bax was at the height of his powers when, in 1923, he wrote his Cello Sonata in E flat. The work is particularly fascinating in the sense of restless movement that it creates, at one moment breaking out in savage dance, at another lapsing into romantic reverie.
Much more concise is John Ireland’s Cello Sonata, tautly constructed and full of passionate intensity. As in the case of the other two sonatas, it places great virtuosic demands on both performers.
