Neat! The violin sonatas are among my favorites of his works, so it's gratifying to see how often they're now beginning to be recorded

These three sonatas are indeed splendid works, the second especially and none has received the attention that they so richly deserve over the decades since they were composed, although they're each available in several performances on YouTube. Yes, all three do present serious challenges for the performers but then so do many of the composer's rather better known piano sonatas!

I think the performances, and recording, will have to  be superlative to be a serious rival to the existing Chandos CD! [urlhttps://www.chandos.net/products/catalogue/CHAN%209293[/url]
