CD Reviews

Trio of great violin sonatas

HB | Fort Mill, SC | 09/08/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"While Brahms wrote only three violin sonatas, they are a great trio of works. The first is the most intense, the second the most lyrical and the last one the most inspired with a slow movement that is arguably Brahms most beautiful melody. The two famous musicians here give us radiant performances. At almost 10 bucks less than a full-priced version of this music, this CD represents great value."

JOHANNES, ANNE-SOPHIE AND ALEXIS --WHAT A TEAM!

GEORGE RANNIE | DENVER, COLORADO United States | 06/19/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In this recording we have three of Brahms' greatest chamber works (the violin sonatas) played by, in my humble opinion, two of classical music's greatest performers--Anne-Sophie Mutter, on violin and Alexis Weissenberg, on piano. The "wow factor" is very much in evidence in this recording--great music (some of the finest chamber music that ever has been penned) fabulous violin playing and marvelous piano playing coming together in such a way that I just sat back listening in total awe feeling that life really ain't too bad when one can hear music and performances like those contained on this recording at such a reasonable (cheap!) price! (Anne-Sophie and Alexis have a wonderful "go at it" in the fourth movement of the 3rd Sonata--wow!)

Although this disc is at the "bargain basement" price of four dollars and ninety-seven cents ($4.97), the sound is superb. EMI is really to be commended for offering these superb performances at such a "rock bottom" price. I truly loved this recording as you will too if you purchase it!

Catch her live concert if you can

Ted D. Choi | San Francisco, CA USA | 04/18/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was lucky to see her in San Francisco, April 2008. I have not even heard of this work before, but her sound was captivating from the start to the end. The audience was certainly appreciative as well. I thank Mutter for selecting this program.

I wanted a CD that captures the live atmosphere and the space, but this studio recording will have to do. The audio quality is very good. It is clean, carries much of the tonal quality of her violin sound.

The low price doesn't do justice for the quality of the music you get."
