The cumulative power of Bartok’s Duos has to be experienced ‘live’. These
works were conceived as teaching pieces, but offer a spectacular window on
Bartok’s love of the folk music of Central and
Eastern Europe,
as well as the
Middle East. Here they are paired with David Matthew’s unique cycle of fugues, which Peter Sheppard Skaerved premiered in Munich in 2004. Each of the fugues is a portrait of a friend of the composer, ranging from fellow composers such as Judith Bingham, or Carl Davis, through to a suitably trenchant piece for the philosopher Roger Scruton.

Bela Bartok - 44 Violin Duos
