Over het album

'Rising-star violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen and pianist composer Huw Watkins present a diverse program of duo chamber works written as war was WWI was raging in Europe.
None of these four contrasting works specifically attempt to conjure up images of the conflict or memorialize it. Rather, these works are all conceived as absolute music, albeit, in the case of the Elgar and Debussy sonatas, imbued with a melancholy regret that may have been a reflection of those tragic four years.'
