Description
Matteo Cimatti presents a sonata recital with striking music. Beethoven’s Violin Sonatas op. 12 were described by a contemporary critic as »bristly« – they are dominated by strong accents rather than pleasing melodies. Ravel was inspired by the jazz and blues of the 1920s to write his spirited sonata. Prokofiev also loved rugged themes and a rapid interplay between the instruments.
