An earlier version of the Sonata for ’Cello and Piano was recorded by David Watkin (’cello) and Howard Moody (piano) on the Guild CD, Farewell to Hirta: Cello & Piano Music by Francis Pott [GMCD 7141].
The version of the Sonata in preparation for Fand is the definitive, revised version, which is significantly shorter than the original. A recording of the new version is also planned.
