James Ehnes (violin), Andrew Armstrong (piano)

Beethoven: Violin Sonata No. 7 in C Minor, Op. 30 / 2
Beethoven: Violin Sonata No.10 in G Major, Op. 96

"It’s captivating to hear what Andrew Armstrong does with his spotlight. He has a wonderful ability to create an atmosphere in an instant, as if he’s pulling the music out of the air...The conversation is spontaneous, the storytelling is packed with character, and both sonatas are played with an alertness that might feel impatient if it wasn’t so affectionate...A a wonderfully positive conclusion to a life-enhancing cycle." - Gramophone Magazine, February 2021.
