Review:
“This is the second disc in Toccata’s series of ‘Lost American Violin Sonatas’. The first volume focused on three German-trained composers born between 1857 and 1866 but the volume under review spreads its net wider chronologically and also geographically, as only one of the composers was American by birth. […] The sonata possesses real lyric impulse, ripely late-Romantic and attractive, the piano’s decorative filigree adding a charming gloss. Violin counter-themes in the first movement are played with persuasive refinement by Solomia Soroka with deft dynamic variance. […] excellent disc in which, once again, Soroka shows her stylistic spurs aided by her husband Arthur Greene in the Chajes, and Philip Silver in the Rogers and Stoessel Sonatas – both excellent.
