A striking portrait of Rebecca Clarke (1886-1979) through the prism of her chamber music, covering the powerful Viola Sonata as well as a diverse sequence of miniatures and tone-pictures. After decades of neglect, the music of Rebecca Clarke is now receiving its due attention, revealing her individuality as one of the most distinctive of English composers in the generation after Elgar. In her booklet essay, the pianist Margherita Santi recalls her introduction to Clarke and how it immediately sparked ‘deep admiration and wonder’: she finds the roots of Clarke’s style in the music of Franck and Ravel but also the German tradition, paying tribute to the composer’s uncompromisingly individual language.
