2 Violin Sonatas

Album by Camille Saint‐Saëns & Jean‐Jacques Kantorow & Jacques Rouvier

2 Violin Sonatas is a set of two violin sonatas by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, composed in 1885 and 1896. The works exemplify late Romantic chamber music with lyrical, technically demanding violin writing supported by a substantial piano part, reflecting Saint-Saëns's mature style and his role in sustaining the French instrumental tradition in the late 19th century.
