Schumann Violin Sonatas Nos. 1 - 3 | Ilya Gringolts

Schumann's three violin sonatas are late works, full of the unpredictable waves of expression and violent storms of emotion that give rise to his reputation as the arch-Romantic. On his first recording for Onyx Classics, one of the most exciting young violinists to emerge from Russia in recent years is partnered by a fellow countryman to electrifying effect.
