Music soars to new heights of freedom and invention – still

By freeing the phrasing of the melody from the constraints of a fixed tempo

Strauss & Enescu - Kolbjørn Holthe, Tor Espen Aspaas Pure Audio Blu-ray Carl Maria von Weber andRichard Strauss first and only sonata for violin and piano and George Enescus third, the former as radiant, heroic and sublime as the latter is dark, melancholy and feverish; it is in their transcendent qualities that the two sonatas are related. Both works signify an important milestone in their respective creators development as composers; they also constitute milestones in our own development as instrumentalists, both individually and as a duo.
