Viola Sonata / Violin Sonata

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Isabelle van Keulen & Ronald Brautigam

The Violin Sonata (composed 1968) and the Viola Sonata (composed 1975) are late chamber sonatas by Dmitri Shostakovich. Both works exemplify his late-period style, featuring sombre, often terse melodic writing and pointed dissonances against intimate piano accompaniment, and they form part of his final chamber output that emphasises concision and introspective timbral contrasts.
