Following their critically acclaimed recording of the Franck & Strauss Violin Sonatas for ONYX, Augustin Dumay and Louis Lortie turn now to Brahms. His 3 Sonatas for violin and piano form the most important body of music for this combination after the 10 Beethoven sonatas.
From the reflective melancholy of the G major, to the sunny A major and ending with the grand and passionate D minor work, Brahms's creative genius pushed the violin sonata form into new territory and reveal Brahms at the height of his powers.
"Warm-hearted and deeply felt accounts of Brahms's Violin Sonatas. Communicative warmth, irresistible lyricism and a kind of serenity I am enthralled by this new recording." (MusicWeb Jan 2015)
"Dumay and Lortie bring fresh insights to such well-loved music. Their approach to the G major Sonata is particularly mesmerising...Needless to say, the rest of this beautifully engineered disc abounds in oustanding and musically perceptive playing, a superbly judged mixture of warmth and purity in the A major Sonata, and high-octane urgency" (Five Stars BBC Music Chamber Choice - January 2015)
"A cherishable recording, captured in atmospherically glowing sound." (The Strad)
