Britten, Leclair, Prokofiev, Schumann & Vaughan Williams: Lo

The first CD recording of the duo Benjamin Beck (viola) and Marie Rosa Gunter extends beyond all horizons – namely, from a perspective that links this world with the hereafter and that asks about the possibilities of eternal love. Beck's velvety yet pithy viola tone coaxes out the nuances that make the thoughtful compositions of Robert Schumann, Ralph Vaughan-William, Sergei Prokofiev and Benjamin Britten so appealing. (Genuin)
