Coleridge-Taylor Novelletten (Nos 1 & 3)

Exquisite miniatures from a rediscovered voice in English music. Born in London to an English mother and a father from Sierra Leone, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was famed in his lifetime and much admired by figures including Edward Elgar. He wrote his lyrical Novelletten when he was just 27, partly to showcase his own prowess as a concert violinist: the result is a collection of richly imagined gems that blend captivating virtuosity and hearty richness from an orchestra of strings. Discover Coleridge-Taylor’s elegant evocations online, to complement the live performances of his Violin Concerto in October.
