 Viktoria Mullova’s first album of Beethoven Violin Sonatas - Nos. 3 & 9 (‘Kreutzer’) with Kristian Bezuidenhout - was reviewed enthusiastically by
Gramophone magazine, who stated “The sound in these familiar pieces has a startling clarity” and went on to say that the period instruments
“relocate these two works in a darkly Romantic sound world.”
 For this next volume in a complete cycle, Viktoria is partnered by Alasdair Beatson in the strange 4th sonata, the popular 5th ‘Spring’ sonata and the dramatic 7th - Beethoven in C Minor mood, always exciting and turbulent.
