Johnson: A Pocket Full of Tunes

Métier presents David Hackbridge-Johnson's A Pocketful of Tunes, a collection of fascinating works for solo violin and viola written for and performed by internationally acclaimed violinist Peter Sheppard Skærved, resulting from their friendship and hugely creative collaborations. All the works are inspired by, written for and recorded on great historic instruments, bringing the past vividly alive. There are joyful dances and elegant suites evoking dance movements of the Baroque and Roccoco eras alongside works responding to modern life, a showcase of David Hackbridge-Johnson's wide range of techniques.
