The ‘realisation of a three-decades-old dream’ is how US violinist Rachel barton Pine describes this recording of Ernest Chausson’s Concert for violin, piano, and string quartet - one inspired by her love of the work itself, in conjunction with having known and admired the Pacific Quartet since its 1994 foundation

August 2025 marks 150 years since the birth of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the British composer and violinist. Bruce Hodges speaks to five leading violinists about what his music means to them.

With her 25th release on Cedille Records, French Impressions, US-American violinist Rachel Barton Pine realises a long-held dream. She teams up with pianist Orion Weiss and the Pacifica Quartet to bring fresh perspective to the music of Ernest Chausson and Germaine Tailleferre – composers whose distinct styles share a gift for lyricism and an ear for the unexpected.
