Hyejin Chung (soloist), Warren Lee (soloist)
Eminent composer and revered teacher, Robert Fuchs, was an established part of Vienna’s musical landscape. His six violin sonatas fuse lyricism with conversational ease and chromatic harmonies with folk-derived melodies. This second volume of the complete set (Volume 1 is on 8.574213) charts a decade’s worth of composition, from 1905 to 1915. No. 4 in E major is hymn-like, while No. 5 in A major is playful and deeply lyrical. His final violin sonata No. 6 in G minor, is sombre with a nervous energy reflective of the time of its composition, though still, as always, exuding Brahmsian richness and beauty.
Robert Fuchs (1847-1927)
The readings in hand here see Hyejin Chung and Warren Lee complete the sonata cycle for Naxos whose first half was appreciatively reviewed by Richard Wigmore...All in all, the two discs together make for a consistently highquality and thoroughly enjoyable set.
