Violin Sonatas nos. 1 and 2

Album by Krzysztof Penderecki & Ida Bieler & Nina Tichman

An album of Krzysztof Penderecki’s two violin sonatas, chamber works for violin and piano that chart his stylistic evolution. It contrasts the early, post-war modernist idiom of the First Sonata with the later, more tonal, neo-Romantic language of the Second.
First released: March 2004
