Violinsonaten 1 - 3

Album by Johannes Brahms & Anne‐Sophie Mutter & Alexis Weissenberg

Violinsonaten 1-3 is a set of three violin sonatas by Johannes Brahms, composed between 1878 and 1888. The works combine Romantic-era lyricism with contrapuntal density and substantial piano writing, presenting rich violin melodies woven into complex chamber textures and marking a mature phase in Brahms's chamber-music output that helped shape late 19th-century violin repertoire.
First released: 22nd August 1997
