The German-Hungarian duo of two accomplished and stylistically informed young musicians gives its ECM debut with a gripping rendering of Schumann’s three violin sonatas. Written in the difficult last years of the composer’s life, the demanding works mirror his existential conflicts in a fascinating way. While the first two sonatas are quite frequently heard on the concert platform, the third one was held back by Clara Schumann after her husband’s death and was only published in a reliable edition a few years ago. The vivid interpretations, recorded in the great acoustics of Lugano radio studio are marked by an immense array of tonal hues and extraordinary ensemble qualities.
