Beethoven: The Violin Sonatas
Bella Hristova (violin), Michael Houstoun (piano)
[ Rattle Records / 4 CD ]
Release Date: Friday 26 April 2019
The complete Beethoven violin sonatas, 33 wonderful pieces of music, performed by two of the greatest Beethoven interpreters working today. Over 4 hours of beautifully produced, expertly performed Beethoven in a handsome 4-CD hard-cover art-pack.
Acclaimed as a player with impressive power, passion, and control, a beautiful sound, and compelling command of her instrument, violinist Bella Hristova is a musician with an assured international career. She is an ardent proponent of contemporary new music, and is a highly sought-after chamber musician who has performed in many of the premier venues of the world.
Widely celebrated as New Zealand's finest pianist, Michael has enjoyed a thriving career as a concerto soloist, recitalist, conductor, and chamber musician. This release marks his eleventh for Rattle, eight of which as the principal artist, and all of which have been critically acclaimed landmarks of NZ music.
Recorded in the APO rehearsal rooms, Auckland, in September 2017.
