Schumann - Violin Sonatas


Schumann:

Violin Sonata No. 1 in A minor, Op. 105

Violin Sonata No. 2 in D minor, Op. 121

Violin Sonata No. 3 in A minor, WoO 2


Carolin Widmann (violin) & Dénes Várjon (piano)

• Two extraordinary young musicians in their ECM debut.

• Widmann and Várjon have played together since 2004 and share a passion for Robert Schumann.

• Schumann’s late sonatas discovered anew in technically accomplished and emotionally gripping interpretations that reveal the psychological drama behind the scores.

• Schumann is romantic music in the most comprehensive sense: passionate, melodic, full of sombre energy, humour and exuberance.

• Benchmark interpretation of Schumann’s third sonata - published in a reliable edition only a few years ago and rarely recorded.

“…Carolin Widmann and Dénes Várjon's imaginative wide-ranging variations of tone colour unlock the music's romantic, atmospheric potential, and their command of genuine rubato - passionate, unimpeded forward motion followed by lingering backward glances - gives the sonatas an expressive flexibility that's surely authentic.” Gramophone Magazine, 2008 Awards Issue
