Notes & Reviews:
In celebration of the 200th anniversary of Robert Schumann's birth, Onyx presents two discs of his music for violin, played by two of today's finest violinists. Ilya Gringolts (in his debut recording for the label) is featured in a program of Schumann's three sonatas. Accompanied by pianist Peter Laul, Gringolts offers glowing interpretations of these staples of the chamber music repertoire. Philippe Graffin's fascinating new Onyx disc features unusual and intelligent programming from one of the most insightful and inquisitive violinists of our time. Graffin's second recording for the label sees him partnered once again with pianist Claire Desert, this time in Schumann's highly charged second sonata and the delightful Romances by Clara Schumann, composed for Joseph Joachim. The concerto is a rarity - not the D minor violin concerto, but the composer's own arrangement of his much-loved concerto for cello.
