Sonata for Cello and Piano DYSON GEORGE

Classique

Description :

The Cello Sonata by Sir George Dyson (1883–1964) is the most substantial of the composer’s earliest surviving works and is a welcome addition to the repertoire of romantic British cello music. Within Dyson’s small yet distinguished output, it merits recognition both as a significant instrumental score in its own right, and as a precursor of a corpus of scores expertly written for solo or ensemble strings. Evident throughout this work is Dyson’s appealing and characteristic strain of melody and harmony, both recognisably English and distinctly personal.
