Presto Classical Interviews Peter Sheppard Skærved on His Three Latest Recordings

Presto Classical interviews Peter Sheppard Skærved on three of his latest recordings across the Divine Art Recordings Group family of labels:

Violinist Peter Sheppard Skaerved has championed contemporary and lesser-known music for much of his career; recently a triple-bill of albums came out that underscored this interest.

In the first, Skaerved explores the Klagenfurt Manuscript, a collection of anonymous Baroque solo works uncovered in a convent; the second sees him reinvent some neglected Schubert by re-presenting it in a way more suited to its “chamber-like” nature; and the third brings us right up to the present day with works from the contemporary composer Edward Cowie (b.1943).

Such an eclectic spread of recordings was a fascinating prospect, so I spoke to Peter about all of them!
