British violinist Anthony Marwood, admired by audiences and critics around the globe for his exceptional artistry and passionate performances, is joined by the celebrated Serbian pianist Aleksandar Madzar for this wonderful recording of the three Brahms Violin Sonatas.

Composed between 1878 and 1888, the deeply expressive violin sonatas are famed for glorious, free-soaring melodies, as Brahms carefully balances Classical refinement with Romantic lyricism. Exploring these supremely beautiful works with fresh insight; Marwood and Madzar unfold the emotional contours with rich tone and close musicianship through this intimate recording.
