Dillon: Violin Music

A love for lyricism, a dash of wit, and what he has called “an irresistible urge” to connect with the Classical music heritage have always been easily identifiable hallmarks of Lawrence Dillon’s music. The nine works on this recording, spanning twenty-five years, trace these ongoing characteristics, which can also be found in his vocal, chamber and symphonic works, through the lens of music featuring the violin. This is the début recording of Danielle Belén, 2008 Grand Prize Winner of the Sphinx Competition.
