About

This work for violin and piano was reviewed thus, "The intense heart of the concert was Eve de Castro-Robinson's Split the Lark...performed fervently..and serenely...The work suited both moods, the opening of sustained airy interweaving by the two instruments giving way now and then to more strident, stopping and starting gestures. The piece was taut throughout, but certainly intensified, closing with a fine screech of emotion at the very end." Cheryl Camm, Music in New Zealand. "Split the Lark...an airy capriciousness combined with intensity, grace and rhythmic intricacies." John Taylor, Music in New Zealand.
