Violinist Geneva Lewis and pianist Clare Hammond are soloists join the BBC National Orchestra of Wales for another released this calendar year celebrating the music of Grace Williams. The Welsh composer held herself and her art to the highest standards, withdrawing and destroying scores which failed to live up to her ideals. Her Violin Concerto was only performed a few times, and in fact she herself was critical of the work, writing on the manuscript “second movement worth performing, first and third not good enough.” About the Sinfonia Concertante, a very complimentary review in Seen and Heard International said “one suspects that in the 1940s this music would have been regarded as the height of modernity.” The reviewer also “wonder[ed] yet again at the composer’s apparent willingness to consign so many of her earlier works to oblivion.”
