"..the subtlety of their rubato and the sheer responsive plasticity of Stanzeleit's phrasing of the long melodic lines, which can so often seem to meander but here are a moment-to-moment index of feeling, are exemplary."

"In Susanne Stanzeleit and Gusztáv Fenyö they have certainly found worthy interpreters: the subtlety of their rubato and the sheer responsive plasticity of Stanzeleit's phrasing of the long melodic lines, which can so often seem to meander but here are a moment-to-moment index of feeling, are exemplary."
(BBC Music)
Beneath the shimmering surface of Delius's little-known violin sonatas are the latent exuberance and nostalgic rapture which have made his orchestral music so popular. Across the decades separating the B major Violin Sonata of 1892 from the Third Violin Sonata of 1930, Delius developed a unique musical language which leavened the post-Romantic heritage of Wagner with French Impressionism and European and Afro-American folk idioms; an intoxicating mix that moved Sir Thomas Beecham to call him 'the last great apostle in our time of beauty and romance in music'.
