About
This new recording offers two particularly good examples of ‘orchestrations’ of smaller works: Beethoven’s String Quartet in F Minor op. 95 and the ’Kreutzer' Violin Sonata No. 9 in A Major. These are two prime examples of the extent to which our view of a masterpiece can be transformed and expanded through arrangement.
Violinist Antje Weithaas has created a new orchestral version of the work in collaboration with the Bern Camerata’s double bassist Steuri, both performing here.
