Viktoria Mullova, violin & Alasdair Beatson, piano
Beethoven: Violin Sonata in A major, Op.12 No.2
Schubert: Rondo in B minor,
D.895
Beethoven: Violin Sonata in G, op.96
One of the world’s
greatest virtuoso violinists, Russian-born Viktoria Mullova is renowned
for her exceptional versatility and musical integrity in repertoire
ranging from the Baroque to jazz, both in recital and in collaboration
with many of the world’s great orchestras, and we are thrilled that she is
appearing alongside Scottish pianist Alasdair Beatson, not only an
outstanding soloist and chamber musician but also a regular favourite with
Paxton audiences. Together they are currently recording the complete
Beethoven Violin Sonatas, two of which they play here with Schubert’s
dramatic ‘Rondo brillant’.
“[Mullova’s] spectrum of
tones, from the merest whisper to full-throated songfulness in lyrical
passages, compel the attention throughout.” Beethoven Sonatas, Gramophone
