Granville Bantock - Violin Sonata No. 2 in D (1929-32)

Violin Sonata No. 2 in D (1929-32) I. Lentemente non troppo - Allegro con anima [0:00] II. A piacere, quasi recitativo - Agitato con moto [10:32] III. Andante con moto rubato - Con brio [20:07] A charming, beautiful sonata for violin and piano by the late Romantic British composer Granville Bantock (1868-1946), his second work in the form (the first can also be found on my channel). This work dates from the same period as Bantock's Pagan Symphony and Prometheus Unbound, and it was composed near the end of his long tenure as Peyton Professor of Music at the University of Birmingham.
