The beauteous violin playing of Joseph Joachim and the radiant personality of Clara Schuman lie behind Brahms’s Violin Sonatas − works in which his first priority was to make the violin sing. The three sonatas chart a journey from lyrical intimacy to stormy, grand expressions, No. 3’s D minor key plumbing the depths before transcending into glory. Rising star violinists (and sisters) Fiona and Hina Khuong-Huu join Marios Papadopoulos at the piano for this traversal of Brahms’s piano− violin works at the Holywell Music Room.
