EM Records EMR 043

Featuring works for two violins, Warp and Weft brings together a fascinating variety of works written for this instrumentation by 20^th and 21^st Century British composers. It is a unique exploration, in which the two violins interweave lines to make a web of sound. In addition to two world permière recordings by Gordon Jacob and Paul Patterson, the disc also includes some of the most inspiring yet rarely recorded works by Rebecca Clarke, E.J.Moeran and Alan Rawsthorne. Each expressing distinctive colours, the exploration of lyricism and virtuosity unfolds.
