Overview

World premières of Rebecca Clarke’s settings of traditional Chinese verse, written around 1910, and of an arrangement of one of her best known songs, The Seal Man, stand among the riches of this essential survey of the composer’s art. The programme also includes the Viola Sonata, which tied for first place with a composition by Ernest Bloch at the prestigious Berkshire Festival Competition in 1919.
