Perhaps no other British composer of the first half of the twentieth century reveals a stylistic journey as varied as that of Frank Bridge, whose later style of composition, more experimental and demanding, and with no concessions to contemporary popular taste, was strongly influenced by the war of 1914-18.
"Michael Ponder's recording, made at Saint George's, Brandon Hill, Bristol, U.K., is admirably clear. It is close, but not claustrophobically so, and given the intensity of much of the sonata and the dark mood of other pieces on this disc, this makes a lot of sense." Fanfare
