Violinist Eriikka Maalismaa and pianist Emil Holmström bring life to Robert Schumann Ìs three violin sonatas with period
Violinist Eriikka Maalismaa and pianist Emil Holmström bring life to Robert Schumann Ìs three violin sonatas with period instruments on this new album. The unvarnished gut strings of the violin bring warm nuance, and together with the 1862 Erard grand piano they form a smooth sound of their era.Robert Schumann composed his three sonatas for violin and piano between 1851 and 1853.The second sonata was born almost immediately after the first, but the genesis and survival of the third one was much more complicated. Only a part of the score has survived along very tentative manuscripts. Maalismaa and Holmström have made deliberate solutions considering the ambiguous and incomplete material.
