Beethoven: The Complete Violin Sonatas Vol.II

These are beautiful. In Deutsche Grammophon's edition, the 1970 recording by Yehudi Menuhin and Wilhelm Kempff is superb.


I have listened to this many times, and I still cannot come up with something intelligent to comment on them. My experience is only one, and I cannot decompose it into aspects. Thank God for this!

Beethoven: The Complete Violin Sonatas Vol.1

These are beautiful. In Deutsche Grammophon's edition, the 1970 recording by Yehudi Menuhin and Wilhelm Kempff is superb.
After "Frühlings Sonate" there is not much that can be listened.
I personally think that Kempff played much better than Menuhin, esp. in CD1. My impression is that Menuhin played "a little bit dirty", but it adds to the playfulness of the recording, which no doubt was enjoyed very much by both interpreters.
