Sonata played by Harvey Phillips (cello)
John Wills (piano)
Pamela Harrison , who is the wife of Harvey Phillips , studied at the Royal College of Music with Gordon Jacob and Arthur Benjamin. Her compositions include a number of chamber works, together with ' Six Poems of Baudelaire ' for tenor and string orchestra, and ' Suite for Timothy ' (written in 1948 for the first birthday of her son), both of which have been broadcast. Her Cello Sonata was written in 1944 and dedicated to Harvey Phillips who, with John Wills , played it for the first time. The thematic material of the four movements is derived from the opening phrases of the cello.
