English violin duo Retorica (Philippa Mo and Harriet Mackenzie) were inspired by their long friendships with composers John McCabe and David Matthews to make this recording of British works for two violins. Amid the challenging contemporary repertoire by McCabe, Matthews, Jim Aitchison, and Alan Rawsthorne is the surprising addition of a William Croft sonata from the 18th century, providing at once a bloodline and a foil to the other works.
