Het Valerius Ensemble speelt op 5 maart 2017 Two pieces for viola and cello van Rebecca Clarke in een programma met werken van uitsluitend vrouwelijke componisten. Deze CD bevat een verzameling kamermuziekwerken van de componiste, met ook werken voor viool en piano, altviool en piano, cello en piano en klarinet en altvool. The impressionism of Debussy is often mentioned in connection with Clarke's work, particularly its lush textures and modernistic harmonies. During 1939 to 1942, the last prolific period near the end of her compositional career, her style became more clear and contrapuntal, with emphasis on motivic elements and tonal structures, the hallmarks of neoclassicism. (bron: Wikipedia) "Another fascinating clutch of discoveries from the pen of Harrow-born Rebecca Clarke, best known for her masterly Viola Sonata and Piano Trio. Performances throughout are as poised as they are dedicated ... A lovely collection." (Andrew Achenbach, Gramophone)
"Rebecca Clarke's beautiful "Viola Sonata" and her remarkable "Piano Trio" are deservedly becoming almost repertory pieces, but we don't recall a previous recording of Amy Beach's "Piano Quintet". It is one of her best works, distinctly post-Brahmsian but with an individual talent for not doing the obvious. We can't remember a better recorded performance of the Viola Sonata. There's no better proof than here that Clarke was one of the most accomplished British composers of her generation." (Gramophone)
