Schumann: The Violin Sonatas
Robert Schumann’s three Sonatas for violin and piano were all composed between 1851 and 1853, and have been neglected, like other works from this period in the composer’s life.
Schumann:
- Violin Sonata No. 1 in A minor, Op. 105
- Violin Sonata No. 2 in D minor, Op. 121
- Violin Sonata No. 3 in A minor, WoO 27
Performed by Ulf Wallin (violin) & Roland Pöntinen (piano)
Ulf Wallin’s performance capabilities with Schumann were firmly established after his recently – released recording of the violin concerto, the Fantasy and the arrangement for violin of the cello concerto.
