Abstract

Rosalind Ventriss debut solo album features a selection of music for unaccompanied viola composed between 1930 (Imogen Holsts impressive Suite for Viola) and the present day (a 2020 lockdown miniature by Thea Musgrave). The largely British and Irish programme allows Ventris to revive substantial works by important yet still often overlooked twentieth-century composers not only Holst but also Lillian Fuchs, Elizabeth Maconchy, Elisabeth Lutyens and Grayna Bacewicz alongside more recent additions to the repertoire from Musgrave, Sally Beamish, and Amanda Feery. With several of the composers themselves professional string players, this is, in Ventriss words, `wonderful music that just happens to be by women composers.
