Reflection - huw Watkins Tamsin Waley-cohen - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Violin and piano duo Tamsin Waley-Cohen and Huw Watkins explore a violin and piano programme spanning four generations of musical imagination. Prokofiev’s F minor Sonata captivates with its dramatic intensity and baroque-inspired clarity. Stravinsky’s Duo Concertant enchants through five lyrical musical poems, blending wit, elegance, and classical poise. Knussen’s ‘Reflection’ written for Waley-Cohen and Watkins immerses listeners in a jewel-like world of colour and introspection, where every note is deliberately placed. Watkins’s Violin Sonata fuses modern lyricism with bursts of earthy vitality, creating a dialogue of subtle contrasts.
