BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Hay Festival 2012, Tasmin Little, John LenehanClose menu

Tasmin Little (violin) and John Lenehan (piano) perform music by Elgar and Strauss.

A recital given at the 2012 Hay Festival by Tasmin Little (violin) and John Lenehan (piano). Elgar: Violin Sonata in E minor, Op 82. Strauss: Violin Sonata in E flat, Op 18.

In a recital from St Mary's Church at Hay-on-Wye, violinist Tasmin Little and accompanist John Lenehan perform two contrasting works. Elgar's Violin Sonata was composed towards the end of World War One, and was written at a time when Elgar was enjoying country pursuits at his summer cottage Brinkwells. Strauss's Violin Sonata was written when the composer was only twenty-four, and is a youthful work full of freshness and virtuosity.
