Beethoven’s ten violin sonatas are major works of the genre, not only because of their high artistic merit, but also because they represent the union of the two instruments that Beethoven himself played. In the words of Ms. Jorgensen, “We find in these works some of his most lyrical, virtuosic, and profound musical thought.” Recorded on period instruments of the Frederick Collection, the duo of Jerilyn Jorgensen and Cullan Bryan present Beethoven’s complete violin sonatas performed in a historically informed way – as Beethoven would have heard and played them.
