GEORGE GERSHWIN
Play Gershwin Yehudi Menuhin and Stephane Grappelli (violins) [ EMI / CD - released 12/Nov/1988 ] Today it does not look in the least absurd, but in the early 1970s it seemed strange to match a self-taught, somewhat unorthodox jazz violinist who came to prominence with the guitarist Django Reinhardt and the Quintette du Hot Club de France with a... |

Play... Yehudi Menuhin and Stephane Grappelli (violins) [ EMI Gemini / 2 CD - released 12/Nov/2004 ] Today it does not look in the least absurd, but in the early 1970s it seemed strange to match a self-taught, somewhat unorthodox jazz violinist who came to prominence with the guitarist Django Reinhardt and the Quintette du Hot Club de France with a... |

BELA BARTOK
Bartok: Solo Violin Sonata Duos Gyorgy Pauk, Kazuki Sawa (violins) [ Naxos / CD - released 10/Aug/2009 ] Pauk and Sawa make for an admirable partnership and Naxos's recordings are entirely satisfactory... I've often said that when it comes to recommending a CD on musical grounds, price is irrelevant. That claim still stands, although I'm happy to... |

Paganini: Music for Violin & Strings Gabriele Pieranunzi (solo violin), with Salvatore Lombardo, Loana Stratulat (violins), Luca Improta (viola) & chamber ensemble [ Brilliant Classics / CD - released 6/Oct/2023 ] Paganini was the first great 'star' of instrumental music, the precursor of the rock stars of today, able to induce collective hysteria as well as to dictate fashion and to influence the behaviour of entire generations. He did this by transforming... |
LOUIS SPOHR
Spohr: Violin Duets 2 Jameson Cooper, James Dickenson (violins) [ Naxos / CD - released 13/Dec/2019 ] Louis Spohr's reputation as one of Germany's leading violinists was at its height when he composed his 'Duets for Two Violins, Op. 39', and while it appears his intention was to finance an Italian concert tour with marketable duets, the publishers... |
LOUIS SPOHR
Spohr: Violin Duets Vol 1 Jameson Cooper, James Dickenson (violins) [ Naxos / CD - released 17/Jul/2018 ] "Jameson Cooper and James Dickenson combine on a new recording on the Naxos label, their playing dexterous, witty and nicely judged, the two instruments frequently required to swap roles in a delightfully playful interchange." The Observer |
CHARLES AUGUSTE de BERIOT
Duos concertants / 6 Duos caracteristiques John Marcus, Christine Sohn (violins) [ Naxos / CD - released 1/Jun/2009 ] Complementing the release of Bériot's Violin Concertos Nos. 1, 8 & 9 (8.555104) and Nos. 2, 3 & 5 (8.570360), this disc presents his equally virtuosic Duos concertants for two violins whose disarming lyricism, cheerful vivacity and Classical... |

IGNAZ JOSEPH PLEYEL
Symphonies Concertantes / Violin Concerto in D Major Victoria Chiang, Isabella Lippi, David Perry (violins) / Baltimore Chamber Orchestra / Markand Thakar [ Naxos / CD - released 1/May/2009 ] Pleyel's symphonies concertantes are characteristic expressions of his idiosyncratic style. They are expansive, leisurely-paced works, texturally transparent in their solo sections and rich in melodic invention. |

Music from the Chapel Royal: The King's Musick The Sixteen / Harry Christophers (with Walter Reiter, Miles Golding, violins & David Miller, theorbo) [ Coro / CD - released 11/Nov/2006 ] It was largely through the efforts of ‘Captain’ Henry Cooke (c.1615-1672) that the choir of the Chapel Royal was successfully restored at the Restoration in 1660. |
