Cpo’s Herzogenberg series continues with the complete Violin Sonatas. With each new release it becomes increasingly apparent Herzogenberg was a multifaceted composer who – despite his closeness to Brahms (or rather because of it) – fought with admirable ambition to carve out his own independent style and tone. It has been shown that there were two sides of Herzogenberg: the young, wild Herzogenberg of his early years inspired by Wagner and Liszt, and the classicistic Herzogenberg of his later years, under the spell of his venerated Brahms. Signs of this duality are found in all the works for violin and piano on this release.
