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!
