This unusual release consists of young Sullivan’s attempts as a composer of chamber and instrumental music written between 1858 and 1868, beginning with the String Quartet and the Romance for String Quartet. All the works on this disc are proof of Sullivan’s natural talent – fresh, charming and warm.

Yeomans String Quartet
Jamie Walton – Cello
Murray McLachlan – Piano

Thoughts, the Allegro risoluto, Day Dreams and Twilight are unfailingly varied in mood and style revealing great depth.

Idyll and Duo Concertante revel in the assured interplay between piano and cello.
