Thank you.......probably the best quality and possibly last recording of my grandmother Cecilia.....she continued to play for her own pleasure until shortly before she died in London 1989. She remained a close friend of Nickolai Medtner and Anna whom I remember as parishioners of the Russian Church in London

Dear Andwinge,
Ist it possible to connect with you? I'm promoting Russian music abroad, in particular, music by Medtner.
Sincerely,
Ruzaliia.

After tweeting about Cecilia (on her birthday), Russian Heritage in the UK asked if I knew where in London she is buried. Perhaps you can help.

This is hidden gem of music. One of the best violin sonatas in such a rare performance!

[@ClassicalRaritiesChannel]

Thanks! All three of his violin sonatas are criminally underrated!

Cecilia Hansen was an exceptional violinist but few know her today.
It is a pleasure & privilege to be able to listen to her.

This is a lovely sonata but very difficult to play at some places.
