"At first, I have to say that I'm not a native speaker. so i'm not good at expressing my opinion on this incredible disc fluently as you, Americans do. so please take this in consideration. I have all these beethoven viloin sonata by kremer/argercich. and of all those discs, this one including no.9 is the best. the character of kremer's violin,powerful,somewhat hysterical,is so fit well to this sonata. kremer's technique, as you 're very aware, is incredible. and argerich's piano , not only supportive but also contending is, I think, going along with beethoven's composition intension. if you expect to listen to some powerful, inspiring and knock-out music , then BUY IT! For me, this is my favorite kremer disc."

"I bought this CD for the 10th Sonata, as I already had two versions of the famous Kreutzer. However, both performances are really superb. Kremer is a great violinist. He does not avoid controversy. Just listen to his recording of the Brahms Violin Concerto with its outrageous cadenza and you will know what I mean. However, in this recording he plays the music straight and the results are quite beautiful. A wonderful recording of two great masterpieces."
