About
Friendships between major composers are often important and mutually beneficial, and they shed light on our perception and enjoyment of their music.
Schumann and Brahms, Stravinsky and Debussy, Wagner and Liszt, Holst and Vaughan Williams – in each case one life was influenced, aided, inspired and affected by the other in real and tangible ways. So it was, however unlikely it might seem, with Grieg and Delius.

December 2012
The performances throughout are wonderfully responsive and the Nimbus recording first-rate. This is one of those rare collection discs that one can play through complete very rewardingly, as if one were at a recital.
January 2013
[Wallfisch] and York convey Delian flux very well, ensuring that the work’s architecture isn’t imperilled by too discursive a view...They play the Grieg Sonata in A minor with acute perception as to its sense of line, bringing a necessary sense of dynamism from the first bars, but relaxing the tension for the lyrical episodes...The Wallfisch/York team plays all [the] smaller pieces with thorough understanding and fine tonal resources.
