Score Samples
‘This refreshing recording… brims with vitality and clear, sinuous melody. It’s an immediately engaging and satisfying addition to the violin repertoire… it’s in his new Soliloquies for trumpet and strings, superbly played here by Christopher Hart, that Fribbins’s gift for long, searching and euphonious melody is most on display.’
