Ludwig van Beethoven:
Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61

Alban Berg:
Violin Concerto “To the Memory of an Angel”

Heaven and Earth: violin concertos by Berg and Beethoven

Yvonne Smeulers, the internationally award-wirining violinist, is releasing her second CD on GENUIN: two milestones of the repertoire, the violin concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven and Alban Berg. The Dutch virtuoso is thereby building on the success of her highly praised first CD with works by Eugene Ysaye. The two violin concertos play a unique role in the repertoire, putting musical sense before virtuosity, content before external appearance. Beethoven and Berg combine improvisational lightness with depth. Yvonne Smeulers crosses broad horizons in her new recording, which is deeply serious, but also full of exuberant musical joy!
