Summary

Why it's fantastic
Written in a prisoner-of-war camp during the depths of winter, this masterpiece found its first audience among fellow captives. Its soaring melodies for violin and piano remain a testament to the human spirit, offering fifty minutes of profound reflection guided by the internationally acclaimed pianist Steven Osborne.
