Description:

Violin Sonatas Plus Companion Pieces Vol.2 is an album by Ludwig Van Beethoven, released in 2019. The album is a classical 2-CD. - OSOSTOWICZ/TONG

Volume II of SOMM Recordings' Beethoven Plus series sees violinist Krysia Osostowicz and pianist Daniel Tong reuniting to conclude their ambitious project to commission 10 leading contemporary composers to write 'companion' pieces for - and inspired by - Beethoven's seminal set of 10 Violin Sonatas. The result is a fascinating conversation between past and present in which Beethoven's mastery of the form prompts illuminating - and often surprising - commentary from entirely modern perspectives. Volume II includes Beethoven's three most substantial Sonatas - Opp.30 No.2, 47 and 96 - and the enigmatic A major (Op.30 No.1); works that go to the very heart of the composer's life, aspirations and music. New here are complementary and contrasting works that include Kurt Schwertsik's probing, sincerely touching two-movement Unterwegs Nach Heiligenstadt, which begins in angst and ends in sublime C major; Matthew Taylor's whirlwind Tarantella Furiosa, a virtuosic encore of sorts to Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata; and Philip Ashworth's Air, a lilting, lyrical commentary that seems to offer a response, in it's conclusion, to Beethoven's famously rhetorical query "Must it be so?" David Matthews' Sonatina completes the new commissions in a compact, concentrated form that emulates Beethoven with almost forensic attention to detail, even while opening out his interrogation of the Op.96 Sonata (Beethoven's last such work for violin and piano) with challenging demands on both violin and piano. Beethoven Plus was presented in a series of concerts by Krysia Osostowicz and Daniel Tong (who provides informative booklet notes) at the Kings Place, London in 2015 and has since been performed in leading venues around the UK. Reviewing Volume I, Gramophone hailed "Osostowicz and Tong's interpretative style [as] patient, affectionate, warmly conversational, sensitive to harmonic detail", it's reviewer adding: "I think I may have sighed with pleasure".

"Beethoven Plus, Vol.2" is a captivating CD release by the acclaimed duo Krysia Osostowicz (violin) and Daniel Tong (piano), produced by Somm Recordings. This album continues their ambitious project of pairing Beethoven?s complete violin sonatas with newly commissioned companion pieces from contemporary composers, offering listeners a fresh perspective on classical masterpieces. The interpretations are both sensitive and dynamic, highlighting the emotional depth and technical brilliance of Beethoven's works while seamlessly integrating modern compositions that reflect upon or respond to his legacy. Somm Recordings is renowned for its commitment to high-quality classical music productions, supporting innovative projects and distinguished artists worldwide. Krysia Osostowicz is an internationally recognized violinist known for her expressive playing and insightful musicianship. She has performed as a soloist and chamber musician across Europe, notably as leader of the Dante Quartet. Daniel Tong is celebrated for his nuanced piano performances and collaborations with leading instrumentalists; together they have received critical acclaim for their "Beethoven Plus" series, praised in major publications such as BBC Music Magazine.
