Curtis Stewart
Curtis Stewart transforms two dozen American songs into inventive, virtuosic studies for solo violin.
This fine album demonstrates that the music of neglected, mixed-race English composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor is well worth resurrecting.
There’s no question that either the violinist or the orchestra are completely at home with Julia Perry’s larger style or the notes: this is about as confident and secure a first recording as they come.
