CD of chamber music by Bernard Stevens, including his Piano Trio Op 3, Sonata for Violin and Piano Op 1, Trio for horn, violin and piano Op 38, Fantasia on a Theme of Dowland for Violin and Piano Op 23 and Improvisation for Solo Violin Op 48a
Indeed, the highest compliment one can pay is that this well-recorded disc encourages one to further explore the still-neglected output of Bernard Stevens.
Robert Matthew-Walker
From International record Review
This is, therefore, a splendid record of some superb music which is all too little known. It is comprehensively recommended.
Peter Dickinson.
From Gramophone Awards, Issue 2003
The most substantial pieces are the remarkably mature Violin and Piano Sonata.
Rob Barnett
From Web Review 2003
As ever Stevens impresses by his patent sincerity. You take him or you leave him. He wrote as he found ... you cannot ask more of a composer. Long may the Stevens Trust continue their valuable work. This disc, the Albany String Quartets and Meridian Violin Concerto are good places to start exploration of the Stevens legacy.
