Description
Russian violinist Dmitry Smirnov's d�but recording on FHR features works by master baroque composer J. S. Bach, a leading figure of 20th century music B�la Bart�k and a wonderful newly discovered work by influencial mid-twentieth Swiss violinist Hansheinz Schneeberger who died in 2019. The Schneeberger 'Sonata', written two years before Bartok's 'Sonata', is a violin show piece, displaying much imagination in its idiomatic and virtoustic violin writing � this is the first recording of the work. There are many connections that link these three works together � the Bartok and Schneeberger sonatas show influences of Bach. Also, Bartok's 'First Violin Concerto' was premi�red by Schneeberger.
On this album Smirnov plays both a modern and baroque violin.
