COMPOSERS: Brahms
LABELS: CaVa
WORKS: Violin Sonata No. 1; Violin Sonata No. 2; Violin Sonata No. 3
PERFORMER: Vladislav Steinberg (violin); Fiona Kelsall (piano)
CATALOGUE NO: (distr. www.lesaldrich.demon.co.uk)
Despite the stature and number of the opposition this is actually a pretty recommendable version. Steinberg, a 30-year-old Russian who recorded the disc in Scotland, has a heroic tone, plenty of technique, obviously feels these sonatas passionately, and is served by a really beautiful and vivid recording.
