Dmitry Smirnov - Violin Works - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Eugene Ysaye remains best remembered for his 6 Sonatas for Solo Violin six diverse and contrasted pieces that have kept his name alive across the century since they were written. For the present album, each one of the sonatas was dedicated to a violinist whose style and manner of playing is accordingly reflected through the piece in question. Each work has been situated in the context of music by the performer or artist who inspired it. Written for violin and piano/piano 4-hands, these works are rarely performed. Programmed between each of the sonatas, these works create an intriguing way of listening to the Ysaye's 6 Sonatas for Solo violin.The Ysaye Sonatas, Op. 27, were played on violins made by Philipp Bonhoeffer. All other works were played on the 'Caspar Hauser' violin, made by Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri 'del Gesù', c. 1724.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2022 . Metronomy's Small World is a return to simple pleasures, nature, and an embracing of more pared-down songwriter sonics. So sure, things are different now Joe Mount is getting older and what's on his mind is changing, but that doesn't mark a change in quality for Metronomy. An immaculate set of tracks, Joe Mount's ability as a songwriter and arranger shine through on Small World, evergreen. Metronomy continues to make great pop music - and, really, that's all that we could ask for.
