Meridian Records is thrilled to announce the release of Northern Lights, featuring English cello sonatas composed 1920-1950, expertly performed by cellist Emma Ferrand and pianist Jeremy Young. With delightfully eloquent works by John Ireland, Edgar Bainton, Cyril Scott, and Alan Rawsthorne--including the premiere recordings of Sonata for cello & piano and Ballade for cello & piano--this album brings the distinguished performers and Royal Northern College of Music professors together for the first time.
