This, the final release in the complete Beethoven Violin Sonatas from James Ehnes and Andrew Armstrong will be eagerly awaited by their fans. The earlier albums ONYX4170 (Nos.9 'Kreutzer' & 6) and ONYX4177 (Nos.1-3, Variations WoO40) received outstanding reviews.
Gramophone said of ONYX4177: "With some discs, you can just tell that everything's going to go like a dream".
The third in the series, ONYX4208 (Nos 4, 5 & 8) received similar praise: "The freshness and spontaneity of these interpretations is unfaltering, as is the instantaneous rapport and subtle, crystal -clear tonal beauty of the pair's playing" wrote the reviewer in Gramophone, "which leaves me in something of a dilemma when it comes to describing a disc that shares the same qualities in such generous abundance that it's hard to listen without smiling".
GRAMOPHONE Award Nomination 2021 - Chamber
"It's captivating to hear what Andrew Armstrong does with his spotlight. He has a wonderful ability to create an atmosphere in an instant, as if he's pulling the music out of the air...The conversation is spontaneous, the storytelling is packed with character, and both sonatas are played with an alertness that might feel impatient if it wasn't so affectionate...A a wonderfully positive conclusion to a life-enhancing cycle." Gramophone Editor's Choice Feb 2021
