All this week on Classic Drive, Lorcan will feature music from 'Schumann: Violin Sonatas' by Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien.
The partnership of Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien needs no introduction, having been responsible over the last 16 years for authoritative readings of the major repertoire for violin and piano. This is their latest collaboration, bringing compelling accounts of Schumann's three violin sonatas—passionate works inspired by the calibre of musicians Schumann worked with in the early 1850s.
The critical reception of Schumann’s violin sonatas has fluctuated over the last few centuries. Written for and first performed by some of the leading violinists of the day, all three are now recognized for the masterpieces they undoubtedly are, needing no apology.
