The third in our series which presents Beethoven's Violin Sonatas in their musical and social context, alongside works by Beethoven's contemporaries and pupils. Here the op. 30 sonatas are joined by Franz Clement's Variations on Gretry's Barbe Bleu for solo violin. A magnificent performance and new recording at medium price.
