Background: John Corigliano has revisited his score for the 1997 film The Red Violin several times. In The Red Violin Caprices, content is allied to a technique making strenuous demands on the performer. Corigliano’s Violin Sonata is among his earliest acknowledged works, its final ‘Allegro’ enhanced by some scintillating instrumental interplay.

Coming from a very different musical background, and representing a very different musical aesthetic, Virgil Thomson’s music displays a skilful assimilation of Gallic clarity and an American-derived nostalgia, with hymn tunes and traditional songs often being evident.
