After the rapturous critical reception for their Franck & Strauss Violin Sonatas, violinist James Ehnes and pianist Andrew Armstrong turn their attention to three works from the World War I era. Sir Edward Elgar wrote his Violin Sonata in 1918 at the country house in West Sussex that Lady Elgar had acquired to aid in her ailing husband's recuperation. Debussy's Violin Sonata was one of very few works he composed during the war. Respighi's Violin Sonata inhabits a heroic late romantic world, seemingly unscathed by the devastation.
