Die Violinsonaten

Album by Johannes Brahms & Augustin Dumay & Maria João Pires

Die Violinsonaten is the set of three violin sonatas by Johannes Brahms, composed between 1878 and 1888. They combine Romantic-era harmonic language, lyrical violin writing and demanding, pianistic textures, and occupy a central place in Brahms's later chamber-music output and in the late 19th-century violin-piano repertoire.
First released: 2nd November 1992
