JOHANNES BRAHMS
Sonata for violin and piano in G major, Op. 78
THE violin sonatas by Beethoven and Brahms have been part of the canon of the chamber music repertoire since they were written. But how were they played back then? What is a "proper" and what is a "beautiful" performance? Violinist Kei Shirai and pianist Sibila Konstantinova pose these questions and, with the help of the new Bärenreiter edition, find a new approach to these masterpieces.
