Beethoven: The Violin Sonatas

Description: Beethoven: The Violin Sonatas [Audio CD] Ludwig van Beethoven; Vladimir Ashkenazy and Itzhak Perlman Product Overview Format: Beethoven: The Complete Violin Sonatas Product description CD There are two really famous Beethoven violin sonatas, the Kreutzer and the Spring. The Kreutzer Sonata inspired the story by Leo Tolstoy, which in turn became the subject of Janácek's First String Quartet, so if you're into comparative studies in the arts, there's a thesis topic for you! The Spring Sonata was featured in Woody Allen's Love and Death, among other places. And perhaps most intriguingly of all, the scherzo of the late sonata, Op. 96, turns up quite clearly in the third movement of Mahler's Second Symphony. So you may already know more about this splendid music than you think. Why not take the plunge with these superb performances and get to know the sonatas at first hand? Just as there are two truly famous Mozart sonatas, there are also two sides to Itzhak Perlman's musical career--the flashy virtuoso and the considerate partner. Chamber-music recordings such as this feature Perlman in this second role, one that gets less attention than his other, more sensational, persona, but which for many listeners is even more musically rewarding. Ashkenazy, no mere accompanist, is very much involved in the proceedings, and the two musicians combine to produce one of the finest sets of Beethoven violin sonatas available as well as one of Perlman's very greatest recordings in any genre. --David Hurwitz Details Is Discontinued By Manufacturer ‏ : ‎ No Language ‏ : ‎ English Product Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 5.16 x 5.75 x 0.94 inches; 6.77 ounces Manufacturer ‏ : ‎ Decca Original Release Date ‏ : ‎ 2002 Date First Available ‏ : ‎ December 7, 2006 Label ‏ : ‎ Decca Number of discs ‏ : ‎ 4 Best Sellers Rank: #64,671 in CDs & Vinyl (See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl) #281 in Classical Sonatas #1,199 in Chamber Music (CDs & Vinyl) Quality Products This will be shipped securely Returns must be within 30 days - item EXACTLY as it was sent.
