Tamsin Waley-Cohen, a violinist of "fearless intensity" (The Guardian), explores post-1944 solo repertoire, pushing the instrument to its limits. Bartók’s Solo Sonata, an ‘Everest’ of the violin repertoire, sits at the heart of this recording which also includes Penderecki’s 'Cadenza', and miniatures by Carter, György Kurtág and George Benjamin. Classical Music June 2015 “It’s brave for a young artist to settle on a seemingly hard-core programme of solo repertoire, but it’s a measure of Waley-Cohen’s commitment and energy (not to mention prodigious technique) that it succeeds utterly.” Sunday Times 24th May 2015 “Seventy-seven minutes of unaccompanied violin, and strenuous modern repertory at that, may make this disc a daunting prospect, but Waley-Cohen’s devotion to her cause is palpable, and her interpretative flair likewise.”
