Product Description
CD Description
At the turn of the 19th and 20th century, the violin sonata experienced a considerable renaissance. A fundamentally conservative genre, it suddenly sparkled with vitality. The relationship to tradition is the crucial point of the resulting works and it makes up part of their fascination. The sonatas by Richard Strauss, Ottorino Respighi and Nino Rota on this enterprising album are examples of three different ways of coming to terms with the desire to change the violin sonata in the period 1887 to 1936.
As a world class violinist and violist, the charismatic Isabelle van Keulen has an established reputation on many famous concert stages. She is closely involved in the performance of contemporary music - works by living composers regularly feature in Van Keulen's repertoire - but chamber music is also central to her music-making. She's collaborated with such distinguished friends and colleagues as Leif Ove Andsnes, Håkan Hardenberger, Gidon Kremer, Heinrich Schiff and Thomas Adès, and has just been announced as the new violinist in the Leopold String Trio. But she also maintains a highly successful duo with fellow Dutch musician Ronald Brautigam, appearing at the Wigmore Hall in London and elsewhere. Their previous Challenge recording - an anniversary tribute to Elgar, Grieg and Sibelius - was a BBC Music Magazine 'Choice'. Pianist Ronald Brautigam, one of Holland's leading musicians, is remarkable not only for his virtuosity and musicality but also for the eclectic nature of his musical interests. He studied in Amsterdam, London and the United States of America with Rudolf Serkin. In 1984 he was awarded the 'Nederlandse Muziekprijs', the highest Dutch musical award.
