Info for Beethoven: Violin Sonatas Nos. 4, 5, 8 Rondo in G & Six German Dances
This, the third release in the complete Beethoven Violin Sonatas from James Ehnes and Andrew Armstrong will be eagerly awaited by their fans. The earlier albums ONYX4170 (Nos.9 ‘Kreutzer’ & 6) and ONYX4177 (Nos.1-3, Variations WoO40) received outstanding reviews. Gramophone said of ONYX4177‘ With some discs, you can just tell that everything’s going to go like a dream’.
On the new album the popular ‘Spring’ sonata is framed by the strange, beguiling 4th sonata and the good natured 8th. An early Rondo and a set of German Dances complete the generous programme.
