Patrick Rafter signed with the prestigious label, Rubicon Classics London, for a series of albums. Below is his first release. Next album – December 2025.

Patrick Rafter and pianist Fiachra Garvey have selected repertoire by Belgian and French composers, including two great violin sonatas – Ravel’s famous violin Sonata in G, and the fabulous yet mostly neglected sonata in G by Guillaume Lekeu, whose tragically early death at the age of 24 surely robbed us of a great composer.

The great Belgian violinist and composer Ysaye’s seldom heard Poeme Elegiaque and Lili Boulanger’s (who died at only 22 years) Nocturne complete this attractive programme.

Signed physical CD’s are available to buy directly on this website.
