Sir Charles Villiers Stanford and Madam Viardot's Tooth
I am head over heels in love with Charles Villiers Stanford's piano and string chamber music, particularly his Second Piano Quartet, a piece that he left unpublished at the time of his death in 1924. It was played for the first time in 2010, and has just been recorded, along with a wonderful piano trio and a bunch of violin and piano pieces, on Naxos.
