Ludwig Van Beethoven: Beethoven Recomposed - Cello Sonata No. 3. Violin Sonata No. 9 Kreutzer Arr. Paul Struck

To mark the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth, Russian born arranger Paul Struck has arranged two of the composer's great mid-period chamber masterpieces for soloist and string ensemble. Expanding the sonorities of the 'Kreutzer' Sonata - Beethoven's most important chamber work for violin - allows the sonata's concertante

quality to emerge in a new light. The Cello Sonata No. 3 equally succeeds in conceiving the piano part for ensemble, while exploring fullness of sound and maintaining transparency of texture.
