Antje Weithaas completes her survey of Beethoven's Violin Sonatas 

Within a very short time of about 10 years Beethoven's technique of composing developed rapidly. The artists of this recording wanted to show the comparison between earlier and later pieces.

"Whether in the frst sonata or in the last (and here especially in the frst movement), the nuances that Weithaas elicits from her instrument are fnely attuned to the expressiveness of the music, and Varjon's playing, his art of listening to his partner, taking the lead and returning it, is quite extraordinary, as everything happens with the greatest naturalness and spontaneity."
