Alberto Williams has been described as 'the grand old man of Argentine music' and is recognised as one of the founders of an independent musical language for his native country. Williams studied in Paris during the 1880s, and his violin sonatas draw comparisons with his teacher César Franck - their heroic mood reflects the post- Wagnerian grandeur that was popular at the time. The concentrated and passionate interplay between violin and piano in Violin Sonata No. 2 bears comparison with Brahms, while the adventurous and at times experimental Violin Sonata No. 3 is notable for its striking shifts in harmony and dazzling virtuosity
Tracks:
Violin Sonata No. 2 in D minor, Op. 51 (1906)
Violin Sonata No. 3 in D major, Op. 53 (1907)
