Info for Brahms: Violin Sonatas Nos. 1 - 3

Brahms' three sonatas for violin and piano are all sophisticated works of artistic maturity. The first two are lyrical in character, draw on prior music, and reveal biographical associations. The last is more dramatic and passionate. Each begins in a way that sets the mood for the entire piece.

Ida Bieler is an award-winning soloist. Accompanied by pianist James Maddox she present Brahms' sonatas with a keen sense for small nuances and moods.

„James Maddox provides a powerful contribution throughout, though the microphone placement seemingly adds to a pronounced left-hand weight. Such balance reservations aside, the sound is generally pleasing.“ Proof that individuality can have its place in Brahms interpretation. (David Denton, TheStrad)
