Description:

This is the final installment in the series of recordings of Beethoven's complete violin sonatas by Sayaka Shoji (violin) and Gianluca Cascioli (piano). The album includes the popular and euphoric No. 5 "Spring", the sublime No. 6, and No. 10, the only one of the violin sonatas from the composer's later period, which is reminiscent of Schumann and Brahms.
