The fourth in our acclaimed series which presents Beethoven's Violin Sonatas in their musical and social context, alongside works by Beethoven's contemporaries and pupils. Here we present the op. 23 adn 24 Sonatas together with the very fine and little known C minor Sonata, op. 38. by Ferdinand Ries.
This is the fourth disc in a series that sets Beethoven’s sonatas in their social and musical context. The Opus 23 & 24 (Frühlingssonate) Sonatas were commissioned by Baron Moritz de Fries and were first performed in Vienna 1800. The connection with Ferdinand Ries was that his father had been a teacher of violin technique to Beethoven, and Beethoven reciprocated with piano lessons for Ferdinand, when he settled in Vienna in 1801.

L. van Beethoven:
Violin Sonata No. 4 in A minor, Op. 23

An immense and magnificent set of variations by American composer George Rochberg, not just, as the title may suggest, on Paganini's famous 24th Caprice, but incorporating styles and forms "borrowed" from many other ocmposers, such as Mahler, Brahms, Busoni, Schubert and Beethoven! The work is played on the renowned "Habeneck" Stradivarius violin of 1734. Violinist Peter Sheppard Skærved is a virtuoso of the first order and a regular Metier recording artist. Aaron Shorr joins in for the world premiere recording of Rochberg's Violin Sonata in a stunning live performance.
Presented here is Skærved’s highly regarded recording of the Caprice Variations for solo violin (previously released as MSVCD92065), with the première recording of Rochberg’s 1988 Violin Sonata.
George Rochberg is today regarded as one of the most important American composers of the 20th Century and his list of published compositions is very impressive. |

Peter Sheppard Skærved (violin), Tamami Honma (piano), Janne Thomsen (flute), Neil Heyde (cello), Philip Mead (piano), James Watson (trumpet).
Nigel Clarke identifies himself with the virtuoso performer, and with the spirit of innovation, exploration and textural ambiguity. Utilising advanced aleatoric techniques and demanding that his performers "push the envelope", he produces fascinating pieces indeed.

The third in our series which presents Beethoven's Violin Sonatas in their musical and social context, alongside works by Beethoven's contemporaries and pupils. Here the op. 30 sonatas are joined by Franz Clement's Variations on Grétry's "Barbe Bleu" for solo violin. A magnificent performance and new recording at medium price.
Beethoven’s three sonatas for Piano and Violin Op. 30 were dedicated to Tsar Alexander 1st. He had been educated by his grandmother Catherine the Great and was considered to be a true child of the Enlightenment.
The three manuscripts of the Op. 30 sonatas are among the most expressive of the surviving original material of Beethoven’s chamber music. These works were a direct result of the collaboration with Beethoven’s violin teacher, Ignaz Schuppanzigh - who was in fact the dedicatee of the Op. 12 sonatas. The final piece on the CD was written by another significant influence on Beethoven’s work - Franz Clement. This is the third disc in a series that sets Beethoven’s sonatas in their social and musical context - in this case the context being Schuppanzigh.
tracks:
Beethoven: Violin Sonata in A major, op. 30 no. 1 Violin Sonata in C minor, op. 30 no. 2 Violin Sonata in G major, op. 30 no. 3 J. M. Clement: Variations on Grétry's opera "Barbe Bleu" |
