Patrick Rafter - Lekeu & Ravel: Violin Sonatas

For his debut album, Irish violinist Patrick Rafter and pianist Fiachra Garvey have chosen repertoire by Belgian and French composers, including two great violin sonatas - Ravel's famous Violin Sonata No.2 in G, and Lekeu's fabulous, but neglected, Violin Sonata in G major. The great Belgian violinist and composer Ysaye's seldom heard Poeme Elegiaque and Lili Boulanger's Nocturne complete this attractive recital.
