"Hard on the heels of Maxim Vengerov’s Teldec recording of Elgar’s Violin Sonata comes a thought provoking Nimbus rival from Daniel Hope, more inward looking than Vengerov though no less heart-rending, and with more appropriate couplings. I would echo Hope’s judgement that the real masterpiece on this CD is the Violin Sonata that William Walton composed for Yehudi Menuhin ... one of the great 20th-century British duo sonatas, and this is surely its finest modern recording to date."
