Schumann: Violin Sonatas / Cortesi, Venturi
Label: BRILLIANT CLASSICS Catalog: BRI95076 Format: CD Robert Schumann’s music breathes an extraordinary emotional ferment that, at the expense of sophisticated analysis, launches its roots into the events of his life. These three wonderful, highly original, feverishly energetic violin sonatas, works encompassing childlike wonder and contemplation, written in his last years (1851/3), belie the dictum that “Schumann started as a genius, and ended as a talent”. Violinist Andrea Cortesi and pianist Marco Venturi previously recorded to international critical acclaim works by Kancheli, Tüur and Glass for Brilliant Classics (BC94814). Price: $11.98 |
