Description
'One of the few great things about lockdown for me was the opportunity to discover and share some wonderful solo violin music, both old and new, via YouTube. In a time when I couldn't work with other musicians or play to live audiences, I felt I could still connect and relate to you, my virtual audience, through music.
This recording consists of those works played during lockdown, both those from the classic solo violin repertoire such as Telemann and Prokofiev, and also those by contemporary composers � Sally Beamish, James Francis Brown, Lyell Creswell, David Matthews and Errollyn Wallen. Some of these pieces were written especially for me, and appear here as premiere recordings. One was even a lockdown commission.'
Sara Trickey.
Sara Trickey enjoys an exciting and diverse career as a solo violinist and chamber musician. Noted for her 'fiery and passionate' performances (The Strad) and her 'beautifully refined tone' (Musical Opinion), she performs at many of the major UK festivals and venues, including in the Presteigne, Alwyn, Oxford May Music, York, Ashburton and Wye Valley Chamber Music festivals. Trickey plays regularly with pianist Dan Tong with whom she has recorded the Schubert Sonatinas (Champs Hill Records) to critical acclaim ('Irresistible!' � Barry Millington). She has also made a world premi�re recording of Mathias' Violin Sonatas (Naxos) with pianist Iwan Llewelyn Jones.
"Amidst stylistic versatility, Trickey's album also serves as a testament to the creativity of contemporary British music." - BBC Music Magazine (Performance: 5 STARS, Recording: 5 STARS)
Alongside an elegant account of Prokofiev's late solo sonata and some simply eloquent Telemann [the album] includes first recordings of works by Sally Beamish and Errollyn Wallen, pieces written for Trickey by David Matthews, Lyell Cresswell and James Francis Brown, and a hauntingly beautiful track by the 20th-century Norwegian composer Bjarne Brustad."
