Following their critically acclaimed recording of the Franck & Strauss Violin Sonatas for ONYX, Augustin Dumay and Louis Lortie turn now to Brahms. His 3 Sonatas for violin and piano form the most important body of music for this combination after the 10 Beethoven sonatas.

From the reflective melancholy of the G major, to the sunny A major and ending with the grand and passionate D minor work, Brahms’s creative genius pushed the violin sonata form into new territory and reveal Brahms at the height of his powers.

‘Dumay’s clean, sweet tone harks back to the great exemplars of the Franco-Belgian school – Arthur Grumiaux and Eugene Ysaye’ Sunday Times, Album of the Week ONYX4096 ‘Dumay’s sound is to die for quite frankly…just gorgeous…an impressive partnership’ BBC Radio 3 CD Review ONYX4096.

‘I live for days like the one when I received a new album by pianist Louis Lortie and violinist Augustin Dumay featuring music by Franck and Strauss…such an album is a treat from beginning to end’ Musical Toronto, Canada. ONYX4096
