About

Although probably most celebrated for his orchestral music and symphonies, Bax wrote chamber music from the first and at the peak of his career his sonatas for violin, viola and cello were repertoire pieces that were played to an audience who found them the approachable face of modern music. Bax was a friend of May and Beatrice Harrison, the celebrated violin and cello virtuosi of the inter-war years, and he wrote music for them. This new recording features two works written for Beatrice - Rhapsodic Ballad and Legend-Sonata and highlights the compositional skill that Bax possessed for the cello and piano.
