Lorenza Borrani & Matteo Fossi - two sonatas
Violinist Lorenza Borrani and pianist Matteo Fossi play two great sonatas of the Romantic period. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Sonata no.10 op.96 for violin and piano is a fairly gentle work for the often tumultuous composer although it is not totally without its deep and sorrowful moments. It is certainly full of melodic beauty and rich harmonies. Robert Schumann’s Sonata in D minor n. 2 op. 121 for violin and piano is a tour de force that revels in its minor key tension. Both works are exemplary examples of the violin and piano sonata and the two musicians give them a fine performance.
The two sonatas are available from Musikethos in 160kbps MP3.
