I think re-issue from WARNER APEX 2564 61990-2, except Elegy op. 46 for cello & piano. love this CD... 1st movement of Violin Sonata - Highly dramatic, full of challenge for both violin & piano, 2nd & 3rd movement so so [almost like his Violin concerto].

[Martin Eastick]

Yes, indeed. This new release also includes the 3 pieces for cello and piano Op25. The original Apex recording was violin and piano only - and to make up time presumably, included Rachmaninov's rarely recorded Op6 morceaux - also for violin and piano. As to Bortkiewicz, there is still the unpublished Op36 cello sonata of 1924 to be found - hopefully!
