They present four extraordinary masterpieces for violin and piano, taking their audience from the noble intensity of Brahms’ First Violin Sonata to the contrasting darkness and light in Debussy’s swansong Sonata. Their programme also includes “a quarter million miles from the moon” by Irish composer Deirdre McKay and the irresistible drama of Richard Strauss’ Violin Sonata.  Liz Nolan presents a showcase of unabridged musical masterworks, featuring live recordings of Irish and international performers, plus selections from the latest CD releases.
