Kremer + Beethoven = YUM.......2007-06-21

I sort of ignored this collection after I bought it because of how much music there is to contend with, but I recently re-discovered these discs and WOW. I really love hearing Kremer play Beethoven. His style compliments this music in some surprising and profound ways.

excellent value and performances.......2005-02-18

Like the other entries in DG's "Collector's Editions", the eight discs come in envelopes and a compact box with a liner note booklet. This box includes all of the Beethoven violin sonatas (3 full discs) Kremer recorded in the late eighties and early nineties. The performances are higly regarded (see Amazon reviews under the individual discs, Penguin and Grammaphon reviews very positive as well). In addition, you get higly regarded recrodings of sonatas by Schumann and Brahms. The Prokofiev is the only disc of the eight that falls flat. The music does not require Kremer's pyrotechnics and would benefit from a subtler interpretation. Recording quality is first rate throughout. All in all, an excellent repackaging and value!

Get this for the Respighi Violin Sonata .......2007-02-22

The Strauss is another sonata I'm fond of but not as much as the Respighi. Best recording ever and was also a Gramophone award winner.

Highly recommended!

Nothing but intensity and red hot musical passion, imported!.......2003-08-05

Strauss was a musical giant and wrote my second favorite violin\piano sonata ever written. His sence of harmony has incredible depth and maturity. His phrases are intensely lyrical while still holding the attention of the virtuoso.

This is not merely a violin sonata, but the piano part is equally important and interesting. The sonata takes a team of great and mature performers to interpret correctly, each soloist must really listen and be in tune what the other is doing and any given second. The rythms are so intricate that it would take a long time to coordinate and synchronize so that it sounds musical.

The Respighi is another sonata I am fond of but not as much as the Strauss. It is a simpler work with less complex harmony. The two sonatas contrast each other well and are enjoyable played back to back.

Chung and Zimmerman are both the finest of soloists and they play with extereme emotion and in perfect time togather here. They play togather naturally here with no rythmic disruption or sence of collision.

Kyung-Wha Chung is my favorite of all the living violinists and her training with Galamian and Szigetti shows as she plays with incredible phrasing the way she shapes the notes with slides and her great vibrato. Her bow technique is basically seamless and she gets a fine tone from her 1745 Guarneri DelGesu. She really lets the music sing and truly speaks with every note here transfoming and subduing the heart of any listener. I remember the first time I heard her CD called "Con Amore" I thought that there has never been a better violin soloist. That CD proved to me that Ms Chung plays violin as well as anyone who ever lived, tossing off virtuoso pieces with effortless technique and undenaiable musicality. Although she has incredible technique, she shys away from the virtuoso show off material and goes for the more mature works with substance. Of course this CD is no exception, nothing but intensity and red hot musical passion.

Krystain Zimerman is a pianist I have admired for a long time. The tone of the piano in his recordings is big, sharp, and brilliant. Alot of people think Zimerman made the best recording of the Chopin Ballades, some of the hardest works available for the piano. Zimerman is magic on this recording, every phrase is tender and sincere, sensitive and stimulating. Every tempo has a strong and even pulse catering to even the slightest change if feel as dicteted by the melody. Zimerman truly has the kind of sensitivity to make this recording work.

I do not recommend this CD, it is a must have. This has been one of my CDs for a very long time, for me it is essential listening. Fortunately this disk has become available as an import recently.

Product Description

The violin sonata op. 18 (1887) was the last piece of chamber music that Strauss wrote, and it is definitely the finest and most popular of these early works. Strauss valued the Sonata very highly, performing it himself well into the 1930s. Written just one year before the symphonic poem Don Juan, the violin sonata, while based on a traditional sonata model, unfolds new expressive characteristics of future operas and symphonic poems. The Sonata for Violin and Piano was composed in 1903 and premiered in Budapest on January 25, 1904 by Bartok and Hungarian violinist Jeno Hubay. At the time Bartok was studying piano at the Budapest Academy with Istvan Thomas, a pupil of Liszt, and composition with Janos Koessler. Another important musical influence on young Bartok was Richard Strauss, whom he met at the Budapest performance of Strauss' works in 1902. Since the Sonata was written before Bartok’s collaboration with Zoltan Kodaly in collection, arrangement, and study of folk music, the work bears little resemblance to Bartok’s mature style. Influences of Liszt and Strauss are clearly heard throughout the piece.

Quite an Alternative to Cortot/Thibaud.......2003-06-11

Very beautiful violin tone. The piano is very smooth and even. But don't expect something as expressive and incisive as Cortot/Thibaud. The recorded sound is excellent making up much for the difference which deserves one star by itself. An alternative to Cortot/Thibaud.
