About
Violinist Philippe Graffin’s second recording for Onyx sees him partnered once again by pianist Claire Désert, in Schumann’s highly charged second violin sonata and the delightful 3 Romances by Clara Schumann, composed for Joseph Joachim.
The concerto is a rarity – not the D minor violin concerto op. posth, but the composer’s arrangement of his much-loved cello concerto op.129.
Unusual and intelligent programming from Philippe Graffin, who is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the most insightful and inquisitive violinists of our time.
