Alfred Schnittke's oeuvre carries an unmistakable personal signature that integrates widely differing stylistic worlds. The profoundly compelling works heard in this programme display an extraordinary level of expression and colours. From the haunting sonorities of the prepared piano in his First Concerto Grosso to the playful theatricality of Moz-Art (after the fragment K. 416d) this album brings together all of Schnittke's works for two violins, both with and without orchestra.
"The Saarbrücken-based DRP play with finesse and power for Valentin Uryupin in the three orchestral works, and the recording is notable for its clarity and warmth. In sum, then, a significant entry in Schnittke's discography." Gramophone Editor's Choice
