Alena Baeva and Vadym Kholodenko begin by recording Beethoven's complete sonatas for violin and piano. Alena is a versatile violinist with magnetic charisma and now performs with the greatest orchestras and conductors, while Vadym has been one of the most impressive pianists of his generation since winning the gold medal at the Van Cliburn Competition in 2013. For more than ten years, they have formed a close-knit and highly sought-after duo (both on and off stage).
The three sonatas on this recording (Op. 12 No. 3, Op. 24 "Spring" and Op. 47 "Kreutzer") were written between 1797 and 1803, a time when Beethoven was both gaining his first recognition on the European stage and experiencing the first signs of his deafness. Baeva and Kholodenko used the 2020 Bärenreiter edition and conducted in-depth research into their interpretative choices: Phrasing, ornamentation and tempi are the result of this research and of sources from the period.
