About

The rediscovery of the music of the Edinburgh composer Charles O'Brien (1882–1968) continues with this first recording of his chamber music. Two stately 'Sonatas for Pianoforte, Violin and 'Cello' (as O'Brien styled them), with echoes of both Brahms and Elgar, cover a wide range of moods, from broad and sweeping melody, via introspective lyricism, to elegant good humour. And two salon waltzes combine effortless charm with surprising depth of feeling to bring the album to a relaxed close.
