British Music for Cello & Piano

British music for the cello flourished in the first decades of the Twentieth century and created a fertile seed bed for the gifted generations of composers to come. +The four composers heard on this recording never achieved widespread fame, owing to early death or a reluctance to promote their music, but their contribution to the repertoire is substantial and very personal. +Two of the works – by Busch and Leighton – were composed for the well-known cellist Florence Hooton. +The programme is played by one of the most admired duos of recent times, Raphael Wallfisch and Raphael Terroni.
