William Mathias's eloquent and accessible style comes to the fore in these première recordings of his music for violin and piano.
His unpublished Violin Sonata (1952) is a highly original and ambitious work from his student days. The First Violin Sonata is a model of clarity and concision, while the Second Violin Sonata, commissioned to celebrate the composer's 50th birthday, is cast in four vividly contrasted - and virtuosic - movements.
Sara Trickey, praised by The Strad for her "fiery and passionate" playing, joins Iwan Llewelyn-Jones.
