Music for Viola and Piano - B. Dale
Composer(s):
- Benjamin Dale (1885-1943)
Artist(s):
WORLD PREMIERE RECORDING The most pleasant surprise in this survey was the discovery of these works by the virtually unknown 20th century British composer Benjamin Dale. The Suite for Viola & Piano Op.2 and Phantasy for Viola & Piano Op.4 are certified gems, well-played and recorded. CD Review Niel Immelman’s reading of the Impromptu exploits its rhythmic fluidity, his subtle rubato highlighting the work’s song-like qualities. A strong introduction to the music of an unfairly neglected composer. Royal Academy of Music Magazine
