About

After a ‘sublime’ (BBC Music) complete set of Schubert’s violin sonatas with Piers Lane [CHAN10850(2)], Tasmin Little joins Martin Roscoe in this recording of the complete violin sonatas by Beethoven.

In all, Beethoven wrote ten sonatas for piano and violin, and seems not to have entertained ideas for other works in this genre. All but one may be regarded as early works: only Op. 96, in G major, which was composed almost a decade after the last of the other nine, does not fall into this category. As a group, then, the violin sonatas do not offer a conspectus of Beethoven’s stylistic development such as we find in the string quartets, piano sonatas, symphonies, and even cello sonatas. But each work is a masterpiece in its own right, original, full of vitality, idiomatic for both the pianist and violinist who are equal-ranking participants in the ensemble, and executed with consummate compositional skill.

Reviews

May 2016

one is very much aware of two distinct personalities, each with plenty to say about this music. There's even a sense of friendly rivalry - and all to the good. Little's expressive style is generous and extrovert, Roscoe's at times more inward looking…this is an impressive achievement, and beautifully recorded.

March 2016

[Little and Roscoe] come across as being very attuned to one another, taking a notably cajoling approach ot the first movement of Op 30 No 3…the particular brand of fantasy in the Kreutzer suits Little and Roscoe particularly well and from its Bachian solo-violin opening onwards there's a real fire to the first movement

28th February 2016

Roscoe and Little seem inspired by the greatness and variety of this music. Neither artist has done anything finer on disc.
