John Ireland's violin sonatas gained extraordinarily positive reviews when they were premiered. The Star praised the 'delicacy, lucidity, and tonal charm' of the First Violin Sonata, while Musical Times regarded the Second as 'a brilliant specimen of his powers'. This disc presents new recordings by the critically-acclaimed and widely-travelled Gould Trio of these two unjustly neglected works, together with one of Ireland's most profoundly expressive pieces, the Cello Sonata; three compositions which display the composer's emotional intensity and passionate lyricism.
