A child prodigy who had achieved fame as a virtuoso pianist and written nearly 200 works before he was out of his teens, Busoni composed the majority of his chamber music – of which the two violin sonatas comprise early examples – during the former half of his career. Deservedly accorded equal status on Newton Classics’ release, these two masterpieces are rousingly performed here by Fontanella and Salinaro. The CD provides a fascinating insight into the young Busoni, effectively tracking the development of his early style into one which, in view of its use of harmony, unusual form and complex part-writing, anticipates his full maturity as a composer.
