About Heartstrings

Mark Fewer and Hank Knox, two well-known musical personalities, join forces in Heartstrings. Both versatile musicians, they have performed throughout North America and are known for bringing a unique signature to their performances, offering fresh and exciting interpretations of works from the past. Their complete recording of the sonatas for violin and harpsichord by J.S. Bach was released on LEAF records in 2017. The Vivaldi Manchester Sonatas were arranged and recorded by Fewer and Knox and were released on LEAF in November 2019. This is the first recording of the works by Canadian artists.

Mark Fewer et Hank Knox sont deux musiciens versatiles qui ont joué à travers l’Amérique du Nord et se démarquent par une interprétation nouvelle et excitante des oeuvres du passé, ce qui leur permet de donner une signature unique à leur performance. Leur enregistrement de l’ensemble des sonates pour violon de Bach est paru en 2017 sous l’étiquette LEAF records. Leur enregistrement de l’intégrale des sonates Manchester de Vivaldi, paru en novembre 2019 sur LEAF, est le premier à être endisqué par des artistes canadiens.

“And part of that joy stems from just how good the Fewer-Knox Duo is at realizing this music. Mark Fewer plays without a vibrato, with a deeply, sweetly centered intonation and a straightforward musical energy that Hank Knox seconds with conviction.”
