The indefatigable duo returns with a late-romantic programme of passionate, intimate works. Together, they reveal the magic of the folk-like yet technically demanding Romance, Violin Sonata, and Notturno e Tarantella by Szymanowski, as well as Franck's Violin Sonata and Fauré's Romance.
"Such dazzlingly assured, unflinchingly communicative music-making, this, vividly captured by the microphones." Classical Ear, May 2017 *****
"These are wholesome, red-blooded performances, direct and deeply-satisfying, with no lack of imagination." Gramophone Magazine, May 2017
"With a sympathetic recording and good notes this disc continues the fine legacy of recordings made by this outstanding duo" MusicWeb June 2017
"Szymanowski's Sonata Op 9 (1904), expansive and romantic with some of the grandeur of Franck's sonata, has energy and poetry. The second movement, with its yearning melody and mawkish pizzicato interventions, beguiles and charms. Little is one of the most open-hearted players around, with a watertight virtuosity to match. These are direct and generous performances to savour." The Guardian, 23rd April 2017 ****
