5.0 out of 5 starsSuperbly played delectable music!
By A Customer on September 9, 1998
Format: Audio CD
Structural weakness precluded Grieg's violin sonatas from being regarded as masterpieces. For instance, contrasting themes often jump from one to another without smooth transition. Yet it would be a most remorseful thing to dismiss these pieces as second-rate or mediocre, for they are among the most palatable dishes of violin music. The enchanting melodies are all of captivating beauty, and the essentially light-hearted music is in turn passionate, expressive, bittersweet, exuberant, and vigorous.
Dumay's soft-grained, pliant, colorful and multi-dimensional tone is ideally suited to these delectable pieces, and his Gallic style is most charming. Unlike some Soviet interpreters, he gave these music vitality and luscious figures. The most regrettable thing is that his breathing is way too loud--sometimes every breath is audible.
Like Oistrakh, Dumay is one of the most notable exponents of the "bad habit" of employing "on-and-off" vibrato in a single lyric phrase to no musical purpose. This undesirable usage of vibrato is pervasive in his recording of Brahms's sonatas to an almost repelling extent--wherein vibrato-less notes have become the norm--but in this disc one can only perceive vestiges of the idiosyncrasy, and it is not annoying. He does start many notes without vibrato, adding it a third way through, which, to my taste, is quite agreeable. It is astounding that even in his recording of Brahms, the overall impact of his performance is heartwarming and penetrating; his rendition of Grieg's sonatas is of course overwhelmingly expressive. His extraordinary expressivity is not generated by the variety of vibrato or slides; it comes naturally from the man.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Dumay/Pires duo do it again!
By Robert L. Berkowitz on March 20, 2008
Format: Audio CD
I approached this CD after becoming completely enthralled with the Dumay/Pires recording of Brahms' Violin Sonatas. These works are not the masterpieces of structure that the Brahms Sonatas are, but every movement contains several moments of utterly touching beauty. Dumay and Pires, together with the beautiful stereo acoustic they are awarded, treat these pieces lovingly and the listener is enriched.

I highly recommend this disc.
