violin:piano is a new album of chamber music by Kevin Volans, featuring the premiere recordings of three major duos from 2009 – violin:piano, Etude 9 for piano and electronics, and viola:piano – as well as the violin solo Passi leggieri, originally composed for Norwegian Hardanger fiddle in 2003. Sensitively performed by two experienced interpreters of Volans’ music, violinist / violist Waldo Alexander and pianist Jill Richards, this music is all about the contour of the moment. From its first sumptuous gesture, each piece absorbs completely, promising an adventure of luminous beauty. In the 1970s, Volans’ work was associated with the beginnings of postmodernism in Germany.
