Violin Sonatas
Album by Gabriel Fauré & Shlomo Mintz & Yefim Bronfman
Violin Sonatas is a collection of two violin sonatas by French composer Gabriel Fauré, composed in 1876 and 1916. The works span Fauré's early and late creative periods, marrying lyrical violin writing with refined piano accompaniment and characterised by modal inflections, subtle chromaticism and a move toward economy of expression and harmonic ambiguity that helps bridge late Romanticism and early 20th-century musical developments.
First released: 1987
