The Greek violinist and Italian pianist come together for a selection of Beethoven’s duo sonatas. The BBC Music Magazine review of their joint recording of the entire series described Kavakos’ tone as ‘sweet and full-blooded, never overblown’, and Pace’s contribution as ‘lithe, characterful and sensitive. Both are crucial to the album’s success.’The unrivaled elegance and beauty of Leonidas Kavakos’s sound would be reason enough to embark with him on a traversal of the complete Beethoven sonatas for violin and piano, but it’s the probing musicianship he and the excellent pianist Enrico Pace bring to it that makes the ride so thrilling” (The New York Times)

“A masterly set that combines Beethovenian ferocity and gentleness…” (The Strad)
