Grieg: Violin Sonatas - Germana Porcu Morano - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) is without doubt the most significant Norwegian composer.

Grieg himself writes about his violin sonatas in a letter of 1900: 'the three Sonatas for violin and piano belong to my best works and represent periods of my development; the first, naive, rich in models; the second, national; the third with the widest horizons.”.

The first sonata in F major is a lyrical and passionate work, brimming with melodies that echo the folk tunes of Norway. Grieg's second sonata in G major is more introspective, with its delicate themes and tender moments, showcasing his emotional depth. The final sonata in C minor is a dramatic and powerful piece, marked by its intense emotions and virtuosic passages.

Played by young violinist Germana Porcu Morano, winner of the prestigious "Concorso Internazionale per Violinisti Michelangelo Abbado" in Milano. Her partner at the piano is Bruno Canino, nestor of the Italian pianist guild, having played with all the musical celebrities of the 20-th century.
