Music reviews of Grieg: Violin Sonatas Nos. 1-3
Music Review: absolutely outstanding music & performances
Rating: 5 Stars
After purchasing a Grieg cello sonata/quartet disc featuring Truls Mork, & being immensely satisfied with the music, I decided to add the violin sonatas to my collection. Grammophone gave this Naxos release an enthusiastic review but had another first choice. The Penguin Guide recommended several other versions as well; nevertheless, I selected this disc based on the Amazon reviewers' comments & am glad I did.
First of all, the music, which I was unfamiliar with, is wonderful. Each sonata is a minor masterpiece, full of melodic invention but with plenty of substance. Each of the sonatas represents a different phase in Grieg's career, with each bearing the distinctive mark of the composer's personality.
Since I haven't listened to other recordings of these works, I can't offer any comparative comments; however, Karggerud & Kjekshus play with an intensity, verve & joy that's infectious. I understand from the other reviews that these artists were in their twenties when they recorded this disc, but they play with sophistication, polish & maturity. There's no showing off, just great playing from both.
Very highly recommended!
