Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Sonatas 3 & 9
May 5th, 2011 by gcunniff

“This Onyx album features the early Op. 12/3 Sonata, as well as the perennially respected Op. 47 “Kreutzer” Sonata. Russian-born pianist Viktoria Mullova is joined by fortepianist Kristian Bezuidenhout for a period instrument performance that proves to be a step above the rest. Combined with their individual energy and passion, complete technical mastery, deep understanding of the score, and unified vision of its performance, this results in a finished product that is completely satisfying and engaging from start to finish.” –All Music Guide
