Dvorák's music for violin and piano comes from many periods in his career. An early Sonata in A minor of 1873 is lost. Of the works which do survive, several, including the Notturno and Four Romantic Pieces, are skilful arrangements of earlier works (the Notturno is a reworking of the central section of the E minor String Quartet, while the Four Pieces were originally written for viola and piano). There are two extensive compositions exclusively for violin and piano: the Sonata in F major, interestingly designated by the composer as being for 'piano and violin', and the popular Sonatina in G major, composed during his stay in America. Both are models of perfection in this most relaxed of chamber-music genres. The Ballad in D minor was composed in the autumn of 1884 specifically for publication in the Christmas edition of the London Magazine of Music and is a work with a tragic and passionate tone akin to that of the Seventh Symphony. “Yet another unimpeachable release from the Hyperion stable” Classic CD “This delectable Hyperion release enshrines music-making of sensitivity and eloquence” Gramophone Magazine “The G major Sonatina, written in America, is a particular charmer, but the F major Sonata is also a work to enjoy, as is the ravishing Notturno. I can’t imagine them more beautifully and idiomatically played than in this reissued 1997 recording” Sunday Times, 3rd July 2011 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Dvorak & Suk: Violin & Piano
Antje Weithaas (violin), Silke Avenhaus (piano) These two composers are closely connected. Suk studied composition under Dvorak at the Prague Conservatory and later married Dvorak’s daughter Ottilie. Both composers were excellent pianists and shared a lifelong passion for the violin. “Antje Weithaas counts among the great violinists of our time” FonoForum “Antje Weithaas and Sikle Avenhaus make a real duo partnership. It's obvious that they've worked in a detailed way at these performances but it's their awareness and responsiveness that's most striking...It's a truly distinguished recital - thoroughly recommended.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
