David Matthews: Music For Solo Violin, Volume Two
David Matthews and Peter Sheppard Skærved have been collaborating on a series of works for violin for many years now, with Matthews setting Sheppard Skærved formidable technical challenges, and Sheppard Skærved surprising Matthews by finding a way to overcome the difficulties in his path. And behind all the pyrotechnics, this collaboration is generating one of the largest, and most musically rewarding, body of compositions for solo violin by any living composer.
