About
1 CD + 1 DVD (2 for 1)
Wonderful new recordings of three violin sonatas that were all composed in the early part of the last century and that first saw the light of day in the period between the First and Second World Wars.
The recordings are part of a sound and vision project, and included with the CD is a stunning DVD of the works as performed by Christina and Per in the much talked-about new Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra’s Concert Hall, designed by renowned French architect Jean Nouvel.
The CD and DVD package is sold at the normal price of a single CD, a terrific bargain.

Awards and reviews
October 2012
The virtues of a long-established chamber music partnership are immediately evident in the Ravel, where there is a wonderfully subtle interplay between both instruments...Janacek's Sonata receives a strongly lyrical and passionate performance.
September 2012
Astrand's playing [...] ranges from strident and tightly honed to a nebulously woody sound that is a colour so other to the music that it lends it a unique extra depth...This is Bloch at his most essential and Astrand and Salo really champion him in this performance.
