| |  | Ireland - Chamber Music
Gervase de Peyer (clarinet), Gwenneth Pryor (piano), Ian Brown (piano), Karine Georgian (cello) & Lydia Mordkovitch (violin) This comprehensive two-disc collection is now re-released at the price of 2 for 1. Ireland’s chamber music is
recognised as including some of his most profound and personal works. Lydia Mordkovitch plays the complete
violin sonatas, accompanied by Ian Brown. The Strad commented on Mordkovitch’s performance, ‘her playing in
the sonatas is quite superb and her interpretations so idiomatic’. The Penguin Guide awarded the discs 3 stars, and
wrote, ‘the two Violin Sonatas are both superb… masterfully played here by Lydia Mordkovitch with Ian Brown’.
In the passionately intense Piano Trio No. 3, a larger chamber work, Ireland also demonstrates that he could
develop his striking, memorable themes. Completing the set is a recording of the Fantasy Sonata for clarinet and
piano, performed by Gervase de Peyer and Gwenneth Pryor. ‘These whole-hearted, affectionate performances receive characteristically ripe, realistic Chandos engineering. A
very rewarding set’ (Gramophone) “Those who think Ireland's music is all face-to-the-wall English melancholy should try the seriously impressive Second Violin Sonata and Second Piano Trio, both wartime-inspired. Strong accounts.” BBC Music Magazine, Proms 2008 *** |

Roderick Williams (baritone) BBC Concert Orchestra, Martin Yates Recorded at The Colosseum, Town Hall, Watford, 5-6 June 2007 “Roderick Williams is his usual mellifluous self, but these baritone songs, often orchestrated by other hands, are a very mixed bag…” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 *** “Roderick Williams is, as ever, admirable in the quality of his tone, the clarity of his diction and the cleanness of his style. The well arranged orchestral accompaniments are sympathetically conducted and carefully played.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
