Violinist Geneva Lewis plays Mozart

Geneva Lewis plays Mozart's joyful Violin Sonata in G with pianist Evra Ozel. And Ryan Corbett explores an arrangement for accordion of Mendelssohn's Rondo Capriccioso.

Geneva Lewis plays Mozart's joyful Violin Sonata in G and accordionist Ryan Corbett reveals the darkness and the light in Mendelssohn's Rondo Capriccioso.

And between those come two songs by Finzi which he counted amongst his most significant.

Finzi's song, 'To a poet,' represented something of an artistic credo for him; written in the 1920s, he buried a copy of the song under the porch when his new house at Ashmansworth was being built, returning to revise it in the early war years. June on Castle Hill expresses his despair at the darkening events in Europe at the outbreak of World War II.
