'Great Explorations' - Beethoven and Szymanovski

About
First performed in Warsaw in 1909, the Violin Sonata in D minor is Szymanowski's earliest violin work. Foreshadowing the composer's growing interest in tonal colour and the bold and rich melodic lines characteristic of his later works, it manifests his individuality and melodic creativity. Presented alongside Beethoven’s groundbreaking Kreutzer Sonata, the emotional force of these pieces contrasts two of the most dazzling and virtuosic composers of their time. Matched with Lee Bradshaw’s Bagatelle II and Bagatelle V share in a performance of truly iconic masterworks.Bagatelle V - Lee Bradshaw
