International Record Review Outstanding Gramophone Editor's Choice

About

This exciting release gathers together in one neat package the two late sonatas for which Brahms’ viola versions have become standard repertoire, together with two trios for Clarinet and Horn that are more rarely heard for viola but work equally well. For this recording, Maxim Rysanov also plays the Klengel arrangement of the G Major Violin Sonata (with a few revisions of his own).

One of the world’s most charismatic violists, Maxim Rysanov, of whom Yuri Bashmet declared “my rival has arrived!” Remarkably, has been awarded Editor’s Choice from Gramophone Magazine for both of his recital discs to date, including Kancheli’s Styx and Tavener’s The Myrrh-Bearer on ONYX (ONYX4023) of which the reviewer said “it was a privilege to review”.

Maxim is accompanied by several of Russia’s most exciting younger generation of players. Katya Apekisheva, for example, recently won an Editor’s Choice for her debut CD of Grieg Lyric Pieces, while Kristine Blaumane is the newly appointed principal cellist of the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
