In celebration of the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth, CORO Connections is delighted to present Ian Watson and Susanna Ogata's acclaimed complete exploration of the Sonatas for Fortepiano and Violin in one stunning boxed-set edition. All 10 sonatas, performed exclusively on period instruments, from the epic 'Kreutzer' to the sublime 'Spring' feature in this four volume set. "The music's moody outbursts and vivacity come fully alive in elegant readings that are attentive to quicksilver changes in dynamics and articulation... The Sonata No. 4 in A minor is darkly played, their 'Kreutzer' Sonata brilliant and stormy." (The New York Times) "There's something positively gleeful about the way the pair deliver the opening gambit of Op. 30 No. 3, and the same sonata's Haydnesque finale practically swings." (Gramophone) "Their trim, alert reading of Op.24 arguably provides their most effective and expansive vehicle yet... it combines an appropriate sense of idiom with an abundance of vitality, sensitivity and insight, and furnishes Beethoven's textures with a clarity rarely achieved." (The Strad)
