James Durrant: Viola Pieces Vol. 1

Media: CD
Genre: Classical
Catalogue Number: CD1
Label: Alto Records
Released: 1994

James Durrant , M.B.E, is one of Britain's most renowned exponents of the viola. On this CD Durrant plays an exciting, original and challanging programme. MacGuire's Prelude 6 is influenced by "rock 'n' roll" and brilliantly intergrates five Elvis Presley songs into the piece. Divertimento on the other hand is for 20 violas, and Durrant plays all 20 parts himself!
