5.0 out of 5 starsRarely Heard Dramatic Works by Three Russian Composers
By Grady Harp HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on February 12, 2006
Format: Audio CD
Recordings such as this superb one serve to remind us that though we may think we know the output of the major composers, there are still treasures to be discovered. Works for individual instruments find their way into recital programs but often lie in shadow of the 'big works' for the concert.

It is refreshing to hear these four works on one CD. The two Prokofiev pieces, 'Sonata for violin solo in D major, Op. 115' and 'Sonata for 2 violins in C major, Op. 56' are filled with graceful melodies as well as Prokofiev's pungent wit and bitter moments. Lydia Mordkovitch surveys the solo work with complete conviction and beauty of tone and is joined by Emma Young for the Op.56. They convey the work as though the two violins were and extension of one, so integrated is their performance.

Dmitri Shostakovich's Sonata for violin & piano, Op. 134 is a more dense and complex work and in the hands of Lydia Mordkovitch and pianist Clifford Benson it shines as a composition of exquisite interplay between the two instruments.

The most intriguing work on the CD is the 'Praeludium in Memoriam D. Shostakovich, for 2 violins or violin & tape' by Alfred Schnittke, the least well known of these composers - but hopefully not for long. The work reflects and respects Shostakovich but does so in Schnittke's own original language. It is hauntingly beautiful, strange in its appeal to the ear, yet wholly successful as an organic homage not only to its dedicatee but also to the legacy of ancient religious music.

This is a very well balanced program, beautifully recorded, and benefits not only from its highly original programming, but also from the brilliance of the performance by these three artists. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, February 06

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent CD of rarely performed works
By William Lee Bynum on December 16, 2008
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I bought this CD for the Prokofiev Sonata for Two Violins. I heard the piece performed at a local concert and wanted to listen to it again. The performance of the piece on this CD is excellent. The other works performed on the CD were an added bonus, all rarely performed works that are worth hearing.
