MODERN ENGLISH VIOLIN and PIANOFORTE WORKS
Played by ELSIE OWEN and VIVIAN LANGRISH

Succeeding an, early experience as a violinist with leading orchestras in London, Eugene Goossens began conducting, at first during Sir Thomas Beecham's opera season, some twenty years ago, and proved 'incontestably that though scarcely more than a boy, he was already a conductor' by instinct. His career since then "Has been one of astonishing brilliance; it was a great blow to the concert room when he decided to leave England and accept the offer of conductorship at the Eastman School of Music, Rochester. At the moment he is rightly esteemed as one of the three or four famous conductors in ; America, which is very near to saying of the world. This Sonata belongs to the period just after the War, and is the first of a group of four chamber music works... Full of varied interest throughout, it has ; a slow movement, which at least one critic calls 'the most single-minded piece of tone poetry the composer has written.' : Goossens, of course, knows the string quartet as well as the orchestra from within.
