      I presume the Naxos is a new recording.
      Can't be, I've owned it for 6/7 years.

        The Naxos says rec 3-5/6/2004. The Gamut dates from 1994.
        I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

          Exactly! Their Gamut performance was from 1994. Perhaps you could check the recording date on the Naxos?

            Tabea Zimmermann, Kirill Gerstein. They sounded excellent to me.

              The Naxos is 2004. I don't care for it greatly, but it does have a wideish range of Clarke's music on it.

                    I am fond of the Naxos but the winner sounded pretty special and I am very tempted .

                        Yes I had similar feelings - about the piece and its absence from Apple music !
                        "...the isle is full of noises,
                        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                            Amazon is quoting 2-3 weeks for delivery of this disc!

                              May I just add my own enthusiasm for the Viola Sonata. RC was not a one-trick pony however. For instance, The Choir of Gonville and Caius has made a CD of her complete Choral Works.

                              Discover Rebecca Clarke: The Complete Choral Music by Choir of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge released in 2003. Find album reviews, track lists, credits, awards and more at AllMusic.


                              It is a hackneyed phrase to say 'they are much neglected and should be better-known', but I believe this to be especially true of her choral pieces. What a shame she more or less 'gave up' composing in later life.

                                Totally agree, ardy - and the Piano Trio is deeply impressive, too:
