The Brahms Violin Sonatas are at the core of the violin and piano duo repertoire. From the exquisitely flowing melodies of the G major sonata to the warm-heartedness of the A major sonata and finally to the vast and turbulent D minor sonata, the music is filled with deeply felt emotion. Not a single note is out of place. These works represent a never-ending journey for those that play them, revealing more each time they are played and transporting us directly into Brahms’s soul.
