00:00 / 09:59 / 17:27 - Timothy Rideout (vla) / Frank Dupree (pno) (Viola Sonata No.2 - [ Ссылка ])
York Bowen (1884-1961) contributed several works for Viola, notably 2 sonatas and a Concerto, all dedicated to english violist Lionel Tertis (1876-1975) known as “father of the viola” and revolutionized viola playing as we know it today. Bowen's compositions each display a unique ‘blend of Romanticism and strong individuality’. Although his influences include Rachmaninoff, Medtner, Chopin, Grieg and Tchaikovsky, Bowen's music is very much defined by its distinctive textures and harmonies. Although his active career spanned more than fifty years, Bowen's compositional style altered very little and he continued to employ a diatonic key system with use of chromatic harmonies throughout his life. Interesting fact, his 24 preludes for piano op.102 was dedicated to the english composer Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji.
