A re release of Beethoven's Sonatas 3 & 9 (Kreutzer) from celebrated violinst Viktoria Mullova and her duo partner for this recording Kristian Bezuidenhout. The pair bring a tension-filled account of these works, displaying their energetic and spontaneous take on what's considered one of Beethoven's most challenging works in his repertoire. "[Mullova] shows a profoundly un-diva-ish appreciation of the way the relationship between the violin and piano changes in these two sonatas" - BBC Music Magazine "The high spot is the first movement of the Kreutzer, which combines excitement and passion with especially clear articulation." - Gramophone "This incisive partnership play with brio and spontaneity giving the impression of a live performance. The artists endeavours are complemented by close and detailed sound." - Musicweb International
