MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Beethoven: Violin Sonatas Nos. 5 'Spring' & 9 'Kreutzer'

"The balance has been calculated by someone who understands the nature of the medium: who has realised, that's to say, that at least up to the time of the Kreutzer Sonata Beethoven continued to think of it, as did Mozart in his later sonatas, as a partnership of equals but a partnership rather more equal to the piano than the violin. The piano sound here is particularly good: never too forward, but always clear and beautifully warm." (Gramophone)
