The recordings were made on Schneiderhan's home turf, in the excellent acoustic of the Mozart saal at the Konzerthaus, the artists tackling the sonatas in order of opus number. This cycle shows every sign of careful preparation — to the extent of using a new Urtextedition. One is struck by the aptness of the partnership, arising as much from the differences between the players as from their similarities. Kempff has sometimes been accused of taking a lightweight view of Beethoven and conversely Schneiderhan has been criticized on occasion for being too serious. By one of those lucky chances of chemistry, the two of them create a synergy which emphasizes their virtues and cancels out their negative points. The performances rest on a solid foundation of luminous piano and violin tone, generous phrasing and a mutual rhythm which seems to bubble up from within the music.

The sound quality of this remastered recording is outstanding. The spring sonata comes alive, vibrant, sweet and noble. Kempff and Schnaiderhan were among the greatest interpreters of their time. Beethoven comes alive again. Thanks Classical Music for this recording of the century.

Thank you! This takes me back to my teenage years, 1950s, when I listened every day to recordings by these two great masters. What a treat it is to hear again this performance of the “Spring” Sonata! Many, many thanks.

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser romantischen und perfekt komponierten Sonate im veränderlichen Tempo mit seidigem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der unvergleichlichen Violine und klarem doch elegantem Klang des ebenso unvergleichlichen Klaviers. Der zweite Satz klingt echt schön und auch melodisch. Im Kontrast klingt der letzte Satz echt lebhaft und auch inspirierend. Der intime und perfekt entsprechende Dialog zwischen den beiden Virtuosen ist wahrlich ergreifend. Danke fürs wertvolle Onlinestellen!
