Violin Sonatas nos. 1, 2 & 3

Album by Johannes Brahms & Isaac Stern & Alexander Zakin

Violin Sonatas Nos. 1, 2 & 3 is a set of violin sonatas by Johannes Brahms, composed between 1878 and 1888. The works combine late-Romantic harmonic complexity with classical forms, featuring expressive violin lines and substantial piano parts that range from intimate lyricism to vigorous, technically demanding passages, and they occupy an important place in Brahms's chamber-music output and the violin–piano repertoire.
