About
Violinist Eriikka Maalismaa and pianist Emil Holmström bring life to Robert Schumann´s three violin sonatas with period instruments on this new album. The unvarnished gut strings of the violin bring warm nuance, and together with the 1862 Erard grand piano they form a smooth sound of their era.

August 2019
This new Finnish recording on a gut-string Bellosio/Gagliano from c1770 and an Érard from 1862 would be welcome even if the playing and interpretation were not of such a high standard… Intonation is just about faultless and the engagement of the two players in interpretative matters is palpable throughout…A valuable project and an intensely pleasurable disc.
January 2020
these young Finns bring this music to life... Eriikka Maalismaa and Emil Holmström are justly celebrated in their homeland but here they demonstrate such impeccable credentials in this repertoire...[a] superb period instrument alternative.
