Very proud of this: as of yesterday, I have recorded all four Henze concerti and the three sonatas. I confess, happily, to a lifetime of wonder at Henze’s music, and his contribution to the voice of the violin was immense. The two violin sonatas and the Viola Sonata are incredible, and do listen to 19 year old genius-the first violin sonata is 1946-lyricism in the ruins. Words can’t express my gratitude to Roderick Chadwick’s artistry
