Info for Rathaus, Tiessen & Arma: Sonatas for Violin & Piano

The accomplished Duo Ingolfsson-Stoupel is dedicated to the performance of rarities by the exiled composers Karol Rathaus, Heinz Tiessen and Paul Arma. Their works, written between 1925 and 1949, reflect the Zeitgeist of Expressionism and the incidents of World War II. The sonatas by Tiessen and Arma are recorded here for the first time.

"This is clearly an outstanding album, one of the most interesting of the year." (Lynn René Bayley)
