Schumann, Robert
Sonatas for Violin and Piano, Nos. 1 – 3
Ara Malikian, violin, Serouj Kradjian, piano
Composed during the last creative years of his life, Schumann's Violin Sonatas have suffered undue neglect. On this new recording, violinist Ara Malikian makes an eloquent case for these romantic, virtuoso sonatas. Pianist Serouj Kradjian proves himself more than equal to Schumann's extraordinary demands, while maintaining a musical balance with the violin. The result is a highly satisfying recording of these problematic masterworks
