Description
Duo Concertante bring an impressive reputation for emotionally engaged, stylistically insightful playing to their compelling exploration of the Romantic violin sonata - a form uniquely suited to personal expression and intimate dialogue. Robert Schumann's Sonata No. 1, written in just four days in 1851, pushes against Classical restraint with restless intensity and a raw vulnerability that would influence generations of Romantic composers. Amanda Maier's B minor Sonata, composed two decades later and awarded a prize by the Swedish Art Music Society, blends a Schumannesque inheritance with her own voice: equal parts lyrical poise and structural clarity. And in Cesar Franck's beloved A major Sonata formal ingenuity and sweeping expressivity combine in one of the great pinnacles of the violin-and-piano repertoire.
