British Cello Sonatas
Bridge, Britten, Goehr, Watkins

This disc presents four sonatas for cello and piano by two composer-pupil pairs spanning more than eight decades, from Frank Bridge’s Sonata dating from the time of the First World War, to Huw Watkins’s work from the turn of the new millennium. Benjamin Britten was famously Bridge’s only composition pupil, and Watkins studied with Alexander Goehr at King’s College, Cambridge.
