Working with Huw Watkins, Tamsin Waley-Cohen‘s newest album will be released on 6th February on Signum Records.
In ‘Reflection’, they explore a violin and piano programme spanning four generations of musical imagination. Prokofiev’s F minor Sonata captivates with its dramatic intensity and baroque-inspired clarity. Stravinsky’s Duo Concertant enchants through five lyrical musical poems, blending wit, elegance, and classical poise. Knussen’s ‘Reflection’ written for Waley-Cohen and Watkins immerses listeners in a jewel-like world of colour and introspection, where every note is deliberately placed. Watkins’s Violin Sonata fuses modern lyricism with bursts of earthy vitality, creating a dialogue of subtle contrasts.
Singles from the album will be released over the coming weeks:
18th December – Stravinsky’s Duo Concertante (Gigue)
8th January – Huw Watkins Violin Sonata (Allegro)
22nd January – Prokofiev Violin Sonata No. 1 (Allegrissimo)
